EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An invasion of locusts, after having raged in Palestine, appeared on Egypt" by Achille Beltrame depicts a scene of chaos and desperation. The image showcases the aftermath of a devastating locust invasion that has spread from Palestine to Egypt. In response to this plague, the Egyptian authorities have taken drastic measures to combat the swarms. The photograph captures a group of determined Egyptian farmers armed with sticks and flamethrowers, bravely confronting the enemy hordes. With smoke billowing around them and flames flickering in their hands, these brave individuals work tirelessly to control and eliminate the invading pests. In this desperate battle against nature's wrath, we witness an unusual army fighting back against overwhelming odds. They resort to beating some locusts into bags while others are destroyed by fire. This surreal scene highlights both the ingenuity and resilience of humanity when faced with adversity. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on May 25th, 1930. It serves as a powerful reminder of how communities come together during times of crisis, utilizing whatever means necessary to protect their crops and livelihoods. Through this vivid depiction, we gain insight into the challenges faced by agricultural communities in regions like North Africa and the Middle East where such invasions can wreak havoc on local economies. Ultimately, this thought-provoking artwork reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature and our ability to adapt in order to survive.
