The Tragic Night - A Devastating Fire Engulfs Edinburgh Theatre, Claiming Lives and Animals
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we are transported back to the fateful night when a fire ravaged the Edinburgh theatre, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation. The flames dance ominously in the background as thick smoke billows into the sky, casting an eerie glow over the tragic event. Amidst the chaos and destruction, our eyes are drawn to a brave actor desperately attempting to save his beloved animals. With reins in hand and determination etched on his face, he valiantly tries to control a rearing lion while other creatures anxiously await their fate. The backstage area is engulfed in flames as well-dressed audience members watch helplessly from afar. This heart-wrenching illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on May 21-28th, 1911. It serves as a haunting reminder of the dangers faced by those involved in theatrical performances during that era. The image captures not only the dramatic intensity of this tragedy but also highlights the close bond between performers and their animal companions. It speaks volumes about their dedication and willingness to risk everything for their craft. Beltrame's skillful rendering transports us back in time, allowing us to witness this historical moment with vivid clarity. Through his artistry, we can almost hear the crackling of flames and feel the palpable tension that filled that ill-fated evening at Edinburgh Theatre.
