EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Torn by the white bears, through the bars!" captures a chilling moment in history. The image depicts an incident that occurred in a zoo in Quebec, Canada, where two polar bears attacked a visitor who had foolishly offered them food by inserting his arms through the bars of their cage. The photograph showcases the danger and unpredictability of wild animals kept in captivity. Despite the intervention of onlookers and zookeepers, this careless act resulted in tragic consequences for the visitor involved. The ferocity with which these magnificent creatures bit and crushed his limbs is evident from their menacing teeth. The crowd surrounding the scene can be seen shouting and screaming as they witness this horrifying attack unfold before their eyes. This shocking event serves as a stark reminder of both the power and vulnerability inherent to interactions between humans and wildlife. Beltrame Achille, an Italian illustrator known for his attention to detail, skillfully captured this dramatic moment in history with his color lithograph technique. Through this artwork, he brings to life not only the physical injuries suffered but also highlights important questions about animal welfare within zoos. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that while zoos may provide opportunities for education and entertainment, they must prioritize safety measures to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring again.
