EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene of big game hunting in a French village. The artwork, created by Achille Beltrame, depicts an incident that occurred in Chaumont where a circus caravan was about to set up on the local square. However, chaos ensued when one of the cars overturned, allowing a lioness, two lions, and three wolves to escape from their cages. The image showcases the fear and panic that spread throughout the village as these wild animals roamed freely. Villagers can be seen running for safety while brave men attempt to capture the escaped creatures. Eventually, with the help of some inhabitants and the tamer's expertise, they manage to recapture the lioness and lions. The chaotic nature of this event is beautifully captured through Beltrame's vivid colors and attention to detail. The broken cages symbolize both physical confinement being shattered and freedom momentarily gained by these majestic animals. This historical illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on December 23rd, 1928. It serves as a reminder of how unexpected events can disrupt even peaceful villages like Chaumont. Beltrame's artistic talent brings this thrilling moment alive for viewers today who can appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty.
