EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling moment when several kangaroos made an exciting escape from a London train station. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life this extraordinary event, which took place in 1903 and was illustrated for Courier Sunday. In this bizarre scene, workers are seen chasing after the agile marsupials as they leap and bound through the railway station. The juxtaposition of these exotic animals against the backdrop of traditional British steam engines creates a dramatic spectacle that is both unusual and captivating. The image reflects the fascination with wildlife from distant lands during this time period, as well as the growing popularity of public transport in England. It also highlights how news traveled across continents back then, with this remarkable story making headlines not only in Australia but also reaching Europe. Beltrame Achille's skillful illustration beautifully captures the energy and excitement of this daring escape. Each kangaroo seems determined to evade capture, adding to their mystique and allure. This artwork serves as a reminder of Britain's connection to its colonies and showcases how even in bustling cities like London, unexpected encounters with nature can occur. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era where adventure could be found within city limits – an exhilarating chase that forever immortalizes these runaway kangaroos' bid for freedom.
