Almost a Monster! Attracted by a large dark mass that surfaced on the waves, three fishermen discovered a large sea monster at the beach of Rimini, and after a strenuous fight they managed to stun it and pull it ashore. The captured animal, which despite its three meters in length and ten quintals in weight has a very small mouth, is revealed to be a moonfish - an incredibly rare find in our seas. This illustration from Courier Sunday, 29 April 1934 showcases the extraordinary moment when man triumphs over nature. The image transports us back to an era where Italian coasts were filled with bizarre and unusual creatures lurking beneath the ocean's surface. As we gaze upon this scene of men hauled together as a team, ropes taut with tension, we are reminded of the power of human determination against all odds. Beltrame Achille's artistic talent shines through as he captures every detail of this giant moonfish being pulled onto the sandy beach. The contrast between the immense size of this creature and its surprisingly small mouth adds intrigue to this already remarkable sight. This print serves as both documentation and celebration of mankind's ability to conquer even the most formidable challenges presented by nature. It reminds us that there are still mysteries waiting to be uncovered within our vast oceans.
