EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Bloody episodes of the uprising in India" by Achille Beltrame depicts a harrowing moment during a significant historical event. In this powerful image, we witness the brutal aftermath of an attack on 90,000 Indian protesters who had gathered in Calcutta's central square. The British fighter planes mercilessly strafed and machine-gunned the unarmed crowd, leaving chaos and devastation in their wake. This lithograph serves as a haunting reminder of the struggle for independence that engulfed India during its colonial era. It portrays the indomitable spirit of those brave individuals who dared to challenge British rule and fight for their rights. The image captures both fear and determination as men run desperately to escape the hailstorm of bullets raining down upon them. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on August 30th, 1942, providing a visual account of this horrific event that shook not only India but also reverberated across Europe and Asia. Through his skilled artistry, he brings attention to the plight faced by Indians under imperial rule while shedding light on Britain's oppressive tactics. This thought-provoking artwork is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images. It stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a stark reminder that freedom often comes at great cost.
