EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of precision acrobatics that leaves spectators in awe. The image showcases an incredible stunt performed by American policeman John Balek, who fearlessly jumps on the front wheels of two motorcycles held upright by his colleagues from the Police Department of Chicago, Illinois. The powerful motorcycle and the skillful coordination between the riders create a breathtaking spectacle. The atmosphere is electric as cheers fill the air, celebrating this daring feat. Balek's bravery and expertise as a stuntman are evident in his confident posture and focused expression. His audacious jump defies gravity and pushes the boundaries of what seems possible on two wheels. The photograph transports us back to September 22,1929 when Courier Sunday featured this illustration capturing Balek's extraordinary act. It serves as a testament to human courage and determination. Beltrame Achille, an Italian illustrator known for his attention to detail, beautifully depicts every element of this heart-stopping performance. From the expressions on spectators' faces to the intricate details of each motorcycle, Beltrame brings this adrenaline-filled moment to life. This print not only celebrates an impressive display of acrobatics but also pays homage to America's daredevil spirit. It reminds us that sometimes we must take risks and push ourselves beyond our limits in order to achieve greatness.
