EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A strange accident happened at a California racecourse" by Achille Beltrame depicts a shocking incident that took place during a horse race. The image showcases the chaos and devastation resulting from an unforeseen collision between two horses and their jockey. In this dramatic scene, a jockey in training is seen riding his horse at an incredible speed around the racecourse. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as a frightened foal suddenly appears in front of them, causing it to gallop in the opposite direction. With no time to react or avoid the impending disaster, both horses collide with tremendous force, leading to their tragic demise. The impact of this catastrophic accident is palpable through the intense expressions on the faces of both animals and humans involved. The jockey's life hangs in the balance as he suffers severe injuries from this head-on collision. Beltrame's vivid illustration for Courier Sunday on December 2nd, 1934 captures not only the danger inherent in horse racing but also serves as a reminder of how quickly circumstances can change within seconds. This powerful image serves as a testament to both human vulnerability and nature's unpredictability. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the risks associated with equestrian sports while also appreciating its beauty and grace when everything goes according to plan.
