EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How to sweep the liner route (Colour Litho)" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the dangerous task of sweeping Greenland's ice floes, which posed a serious threat to navigation during that time. In this dramatic scene, we see a crew aboard a ship carefully navigating through freezing waters filled with treacherous icebergs. They are on high alert, knowing that any wrong move could lead to disaster. As they sail through the Atlantic Ocean, their mission is clear - to destroy these hazardous ice floes using mines. The explosive power of these mines is evident as we witness an iceberg being blown up in the distance. The sailors watch attentively, aware of the risks involved in their line of work. This illustration captures both the beauty and danger present in this icy landscape. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, showcasing his skill as an illustrator from Italy. Through his artistry, he transports us back to 1924 when news broke about Greenland's perilous ice floes threatening transatlantic navigation. This print serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination exhibited by those who risked their lives at sea for safer passage for ships and passengers alike. It also highlights how nature can be both awe-inspiring and potentially destructive when faced with human intervention.
