EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serious incident involving the Queen Mother of England, Queen Mary. The colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame showcases a moment of chaos and bravery near London in 1939. As the Queen Mother's car, accompanied by two Court figures, was traveling, it collided with a truck and overturned. Despite sustaining minor injuries, the resilient Sovereign was immediately rescued from the wreckage. In this dramatic illustration for Courier Sunday, we witness the remarkable scene unfold as a crowd gathers around the accident site. People rush to assist and helplessly watch as Her Majesty climbs out of her overturned vehicle with the aid of a ladder inserted through one of its doors. The image portrays not only an unfortunate accident but also highlights the courage and resilience displayed by both Queen Mary and those who came to her aid. It serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication towards ensuring her safety. Beltrame's artistic talent shines through in his attention to detail, capturing every emotion on people's faces amidst this chaotic event. This historic photograph offers us a glimpse into an important moment in British history when even members of royalty were not immune to accidents on public streets. As we admire this powerful artwork from Fine Art Finder, let us reflect on how moments like these can shape our perception of strength and unity during times of adversity.
