EDITORS COMMENTS
Twenty young ladies in the lake! (colour litho) by Achille Beltrame captures a tragic yet heroic moment during a fateful trip on Lake Wulping. In this stunning print, we witness the aftermath of a sudden storm that overwhelmed twenty students from a boarding school who were enjoying their motor boat excursion. As chaos ensued and danger loomed, two brave men valiantly rushed to their aid after already making numerous rescues. However, tragedy struck as both men and eleven girls drowned while attempting to save others. This heart-wrenching illustration was featured in Courier Sunday on 4 August 1935. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the tumultuous waves crashing against capsized boats and desperate figures struggling for survival. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring forth the urgency and intensity of the situation. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience amidst nature's wrath. It highlights themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the unpredictability of life itself. Beltrame's skillful depiction invites viewers to reflect upon our own capacity for bravery when faced with adversity. The historical context surrounding this event adds depth to its significance – taking place in East Prussia during an era marked by economic challenges and political tensions. Through this image, we are reminded not only of individual acts of courage but also how communities come together during times of crisis.
