EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Big column of smugglers surprised at night and put on the run at the border between Varesotto and Switzerland" by Achille Beltrame showcases a dramatic scene filled with suspense and action. In this color lithograph, we are transported to a dark woodland area where a group of smugglers is caught off guard by soldiers or policemen. The atmosphere is shrouded in darkness, emphasizing the clandestine nature of their activities. The men, dressed in rugged attire, are seen desperately trying to escape arrest as they scatter through the forest. Their faces reveal fear and determination as they navigate through the dense trees. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday in July 1908, capturing an intense moment that likely captivated readers during that time period. This image serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against crime and illegal activities along borders. The composition highlights not only the bravery of law enforcement officers but also sheds light on criminality and its consequences. The artist skillfully portrays both sides of this dangerous encounter - those who break the law and those who uphold it. Overall, this powerful artwork invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as justice, morality, and societal order while appreciating Beltrame's artistic talent in capturing such a gripping moment from history.
