EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "While traveling from Singapore to London on a steamer, a tiger managed to escape from the cage" by Achille Beltrame, takes us back in time to an extraordinary event that unfolded on board a ship. As the vessel made its way across the vast ocean, chaos erupted when a fierce tiger broke free from its confinement. The crew members swiftly sprang into action, determined to capture the elusive predator. Passengers sought refuge behind locked cabin doors as fear gripped their hearts. Suddenly, the mighty beast emerged onto the deck and pounced upon an unsuspecting officer with terrifying force. In a desperate attempt not to harm their comrade-in-arms, other officers aimed high and fired shots that startled the creature. Startled by this unexpected resistance, the tiger retreated into the depths of the ship's hold. Hours passed as relentless pursuit ensued until finally, after much effort and danger posed by this untamed creature roaming freely within confined spaces, it met its demise. Beltrame's vivid illustration for Courier Sunday on August 16th in 1931 captures both the intensity of this harrowing incident and showcases his exceptional artistic talent. The image portrays not only bravery but also highlights humanity's constant struggle against nature's raw power. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of mankind's indomitable spirit in overcoming adversity while traversing treacherous waters between continents. It stands as a testament to our ability to confront unforeseen challenges head-on and emerge victorious even amidst perilous circumstances.
