The Draw of the Milan Lottery - A Million Lire Prize
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to a bustling hall of festivities at the Park in Milan. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as people gather for the draw of the city's lottery, where one lucky winner will walk away with a life-changing prize of one million lire. The image captures a diverse crowd, both men and women, eagerly awaiting their chance at winning. Policemen stand guard near barriers, ensuring order among the enthusiastic participants. A stage is set up where individuals are blindfolded and randomly choose their numbers from an array of options. Amidst the sea of faces, there is an air of hope and possibility. The allure of wealth hangs in the air as dreams intertwine with each ticket purchased. Moneychangers can be seen nearby, ready to exchange fortunes once luck has been determined. Beltrame Achille's masterful illustration brings this momentous event to life. Through his skilled use of color lithography, he captures not only the physicality but also the emotions that fill this room - from nervousness to joy. This image serves as a reminder that even in uncertain times such as these depicted in 1907 Italy, there is always room for dreams and aspirations. It showcases how lotteries have long held a special place in society by offering individuals a chance at financial freedom through sheer luck. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but wonder who among them would emerge victorious – forever changed by their newfound fortune.
