EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Escape of an electric tram that went down to Florence due to brake breakage, travelers throw themselves. . " by Achille Beltrame depicts a harrowing incident that unfolded in the streets of Florence. The image showcases the chaos and desperation that ensued when the electric tram experienced a catastrophic brake failure. As billows of smoke fill the air, men and women can be seen leaping from the burning tram onto the street below. Their faces etched with fear, they frantically escape from the engulfing flames, their only hope for survival being to abandon ship. The intensity of their emotions is palpable as they take this daring leap into uncertainty. The scene captures not only a moment of sheer panic but also highlights humanity's resilience in times of crisis. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of great danger, people find strength within themselves to overcome adversity. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings this dramatic event vividly to life. The red flames against a dark backdrop symbolize both destruction and urgency while drawing attention to the gravity of the situation. This historical illustration was originally created for La Domenica Del Corriere newspaper in July 1914, immortalizing an event that shook Florence during its heyday. Today, it stands as a testament to human courage and serves as a poignant reminder never to take our safety for granted when traveling on public transport systems.
