EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this colour litho print by Achille Beltrame, we are transported to the vibrant ballrooms of London in 1925. The image captures a unique craze that swept through the city during that time - the passion for crossword riddles. As couples gracefully twirl across the dance floor, their eyes are fixed on a picture with a perplexing riddle. In an enchanting twist, they must solve these brain-teasing puzzles without ever ceasing their elegant movements. It is a true test of wit and coordination. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as flappers and debutantes clad in exquisite dresses join forces with dapper gentlemen dressed in black tie attire. Together, they embark on a quest to unlock the secrets hidden within each puzzle. This peculiar game has become an integral part of London's social scene, where solving crosswords becomes as important as mastering choreography. The joyous energy radiating from this image showcases not only the love for dancing but also the thrill of intellectual challenge. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures both the glamour and intrigue surrounding this phenomenon. With his artistic skill, he brings to life an era when parties were more than just celebrations; they were opportunities for discovery and mental stimulation. "The Passion for Crossword Riddles" serves as a reminder that even amidst lively festivities, our thirst for knowledge knows no bounds.
