EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chaotic scene in Naples as 24 oxen make a daring escape from railway cars. The image, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases the dramatic hunt that ensued after the animals broke free onto the city streets, causing panic among passers-by. Dust clouds rise as the enraged oxen stampede through town, instilling fear and danger in their wake. The illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on September 9th, 1928. It depicts the frantic efforts of men and women to capture and control the rampaging bulls. Some of them were killed while others were corralled within a fence. The intensity of this event is palpable through Beltrame's skilled use of color lithography. In this snapshot of history, we witness not only the chaos caused by these escaped animals but also glimpse into daily life in Naples during that time period. The bustling streets filled with people running for safety highlight both the vulnerability and resilience of humanity when faced with unexpected challenges. Beltrame's artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, communities come together to face adversity head-on. This powerful image transports us back to an era where public transport played a vital role in connecting cities like Naples and reminds us of our shared experiences throughout history.
