EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures the chaotic scene that unfolded in Venice when the aqueduct broke, leaving its residents without access to clean water. The print, created by Achille Beltrame in 1911, showcases the desperation of people as they rush to obtain imported water from wells and fountains scattered throughout the city. In this bustling street, men, women, and children can be seen carrying buckets, bottles, and jugs in an effort to secure their share of precious drinking water. Their faces reflect a mix of anxiety and determination as they navigate through the crowded square. Even policemen are present, trying to maintain order amidst the chaos. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of statues adorning the fountain and buildings surrounding it. These architectural elements serve as a reminder of Venice's rich history while also highlighting its vulnerability during times of crisis. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday not only serves as a visual documentation but also conveys a sense of urgency and resilience within the Venetian community. It reminds us of our reliance on essential resources like clean water and how we often take them for granted until faced with their scarcity. As we gaze upon this historical image captured over a century ago, we are reminded that even in moments of adversity, humanity finds ways to adapt and persevere.
