The Adventure of a Public Car in Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous snapshot of an eventful night in the bustling city. This vibrant colour lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame, transports us to the streets of Paris in 1922. In this comical scene, we witness a public car driver's misadventure as he tries to avoid colliding with another vehicle. In his haste, he takes an unexpected turn into the entrance of an underground railway station. Unbeknownst to him, this decision leads to a dramatic crash down sixty-two steps. Luckily, due to the late hour, the deserted railway platform spares any casualties from this chaotic incident. The artwork captures both the darkness and lightness of this situation; illuminated by streetlights and headlights that cast shadows on the falling car. Beltrame's illustration showcases his talent for capturing movement and action through dynamic lines and vivid colours. The scene is filled with energy as we see passengers inside the car reacting with surprise while pedestrians look on in astonishment. This print not only provides entertainment but also offers insight into early 20th-century transportation systems and urban life in Paris. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and accidents, there can be moments of humor and adventure found within everyday experiences.
