EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Tremendous Adventure" captures a moment of both terror and triumph. In this image, we witness the incredible story of a Philadelphia doctor who found himself in an unusual and life-threatening situation. Believing he was entering an elevator car on the fifteenth floor of a towering skyscraper, the doctor instead fell into the abyss. However, with extraordinary presence of mind, he managed to grasp onto the elevator ropes, first with his hands and then with his legs. Against all odds, he slid down to safety on the ground floor. This remarkable tale is depicted by Achille Beltrame in vivid color lithography. The illustration showcases not only the physical injuries sustained by the doctor but also emphasizes his resilience and determination to survive.
