An elephant from the Zoological Garden in Basel while taking a walk in the interior of the garden, taking advantage that one of the doors was open to give access to a cart, came out of the fence and started running towards the city.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Walk of a Pachyderm" by Achille Beltrame depicts a remarkable incident that took place in Basel, Switzerland. The image captures the moment when an elephant from the local Zoological Garden escaped its enclosure and began running through the streets of the city. As crowds gathered to witness this unexpected spectacle, the animal's agitation grew. In a stroke of luck, the panicked elephant found refuge in a nearby garden where it was eventually captured without any harm caused. This dramatic event unfolded on February 3rd, 1929, and was later illustrated for Courier Sunday. Beltrame's artwork beautifully portrays both the fear felt by onlookers and the awe-inspiring presence of this majestic creature. The composition showcases not only the chaos that ensued but also highlights elements such as women clutching their children tightly and men attempting to calm down both spectators and themselves. "The Walk of a Pachyderm" is an extraordinary snapshot frozen in time – one that reminds us of our connection with nature and how even within urban environments, wildlife can surprise us with their strength and resilience. This print serves as a testament to human fascination with animals while also capturing our collective sense of wonderment at witnessing something truly out-of-the-ordinary unfold before our eyes.
