EDITORS COMMENTS
A thrilling new winter sport takes flight in this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame. Known as skiplane, this exhilarating activity was born on the frozen lakes of Canada, offering skiers the chance to experience the rush of high speeds up to a hundred kilometers per hour while being towed by an aircraft equipped with skates. The image depicts a scene filled with adrenaline and excitement as men and women hold onto ropes attached to the plane, soaring across a snowy slope. The danger is palpable, yet their smiles reveal the sheer joy they find in this daring adventure. The propeller spins rapidly against the backdrop of majestic mountains, emphasizing both speed and beauty. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on March 30th, 1924 captures not only the thrill of skiplane but also showcases how aviation has intertwined itself with winter sports. This fusion between two worlds creates an unforgettable spectacle that combines elements of skiing and flying into one incredible experience. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness this groundbreaking sport unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that humans have always sought out new ways to push boundaries and embrace excitement even amidst icy landscapes.
