EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "At the height of a railway crossing on the Casale-Mortara railway line, a moving train. . " by Achille Beltrame, transports us back to a tragic incident that unfolded in Italy. The image depicts the aftermath of an unfortunate collision between a speeding locomotive and a horse-drawn barroccio at a level crossing. In this dramatic scene, we witness the devastating consequences of technology meeting tradition. The horse's harness has become entangled with one of the pistons on the locomotive, resulting in its brutal dragging for nearly a kilometer. The wreckage left behind is testament to both the power of modernity and its potential dangers. The composition captures not only the physical destruction but also evokes deep emotions as we contemplate this heartbreaking event. Smoke billows from the train's engine while shattered pieces of cart lie scattered across the tracks. Animals nearby appear startled and confused amidst this chaos. Beltrame's illustration serves as a poignant reminder of how progress can sometimes come at great cost. It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards ensuring safety and harmony when different modes of transport intersect. Through this powerful image, we are compelled to consider not only technological advancements but also their impact on lives - both human and animal alike - urging us to approach progress with caution and empathy.
