EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "The King of Spain jumps from a train still in motion to rescue a child hit by the train itself" by Achille Beltrame depicts a remarkable act of bravery and heroism. The illustration, created for Courier Sunday in June 1913, portrays an extraordinary event that unfolded on the railway platforms of Spain. In this dramatic scene, King Alphonso XIII of Spain is seen leaping from a moving train to save a young child who has been tragically struck by the very same locomotive. The urgency and intensity are palpable as the king's officers and staff rush to assist him in his noble endeavor. Beltrame's artistic talent shines through as he masterfully captures every detail – from the expressions on people's faces to the intricate architecture of the station building. The vibrant colors bring life to this historic moment, highlighting both courage and compassion. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even those in positions of power can demonstrate selflessness and empathy when faced with adversity. It showcases not only the strength and determination of King Alphonso XIII but also emphasizes the importance placed on protecting innocent lives within Spanish society. "The King of Spain jumps from a train still in motion to rescue a child hit by the train itself" is an awe-inspiring visual narrative that immortalizes an act of heroism amidst tragedy, reminding us all that true leadership involves putting others before oneself.
