EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph titled "Arrival in Milan of the stables of the famous Sahara emperor, James I" captures a truly extraordinary scene. Created by Achille Beltrame in 1905, this artwork depicts an event that is both fascinating and bizarre. In the illustration, we see a bustling crowd gathered to witness the arrival of Emperor James I's stables from the Sahara desert. The scene is filled with Frenchmen, women, and children eagerly awaiting the spectacle. A group of African men leads a procession of camels through the streets of Milan, accompanied by several other exotic animals from Africa's wildlife. The atmosphere is electric as onlookers marvel at this grand display. The image portrays a mix of curiosity and excitement among those present. It showcases not only an imperial ceremony but also highlights colonial connections between France and Italy during that period. Beltrame's attention to detail brings out every aspect of this peculiar event - from the eccentricity of bringing such diverse creatures to Milan to the sheer wonderment on people's faces as they witness something so out-of-the-ordinary. This lithograph serves as a reminder that history often holds unexpected surprises and offers glimpses into cultures far removed from our own. It invites viewers to ponder upon themes like imperialism, cultural exchange, and human fascination with exoticism – all within one frame captured over a century ago.
