Divers Bring Up Corpses From Liban Steam Shipwrecked Near Marseille
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and haunting image captured by Achille Beltrame in 1903. The colour lithograph portrays the aftermath of a tragic maritime disaster that occurred off the coast of Marseille, France. In this scene, brave divers are seen emerging from the depths of the sea, their faces etched with determination and sorrow. Equipped with specialized gear, they work tirelessly to recover the lifeless bodies of sailors and passengers who perished when the Liban steamship sank. The composition highlights both the treacherous nature of the deep waters and the resilience of these French divers as they bring each corpse to surface. Surrounding them are boats filled with onlookers, their expressions reflecting a mix of grief and disbelief at such an immense loss. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday captures not only a news item but also serves as a somber reminder of human mortality amidst our reliance on ships for transportation. The paddle wheel steamer lies wrecked in pieces beneath them, serving as a chilling testament to its fate. This artwork stands as a tribute to those who lost their lives at sea that fateful day - sailors and passengers alike - while also honoring Achille Beltrame's skillful portrayal of this tragic event.
