EDITORS COMMENTS
In the Bosphorus, half a mile from the coast, at the height of St. Stephen near Constantinople. . . (colour litho) captures a thrilling moment in history when two Englishmen found themselves in a life-or-death struggle with an enormous shark. This print by Achille Beltrame depicts the harrowing incident that took place on the waters of the Bosphorus. As depicted in this illustration for Courier Sunday on May 11,1930, two Englishmen were rowing in a light boat near Santo Stefano when they were suddenly attacked by a massive shark. The predator pounced against their fragile vessel and slashed it aft. In their desperate attempt to free itself, the shark violently shook the boat while its terrified occupants clung to its bow for dear life. Miraculously, these brave men managed to save themselves by swimming ashore as their overturned boat drifted helplessly in the water. The image showcases not only their incredible survival but also highlights both man's vulnerability and resilience against nature's mightiest creatures. Beltrame's vivid colors and attention to detail bring this heart-stopping moment to life, capturing every wave and tooth of this fearsome encounter. This artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's constant battle with nature and our ability to overcome even the most perilous situations.
