EDITORS COMMENTS
Rain of Men (Colour Litho) captures a truly extraordinary moment in history, as depicted by the talented Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame. The image takes us back to Oakland, California in 1925, where residents were astounded by an unusual spectacle unfolding above their heads. In this vibrant lithograph, we witness five brave paratroopers descending from the sky simultaneously. These daring aviators launched into empty space from a braked balloon at a staggering height of one thousand meters. The colorful parachutes add an element of excitement and beauty to the scene, contrasting against the clear blue sky. Beltrame's illustration perfectly encapsulates the bizarre nature of this event. It is as if men are literally raining down from above, captivating both onlookers and viewers alike. This unique form of entertainment showcases the audacity and adventurous spirit that defined early aviation. The artwork not only celebrates human ingenuity but also pays homage to leisure activities enjoyed during spare time. It serves as a reminder that recreation and enjoyment are essential aspects of life for Americans in particular. Through his masterful use of color and attention to detail, Beltrame transports us back in time to experience this thrilling moment firsthand. 'Rain of Men (Colour Litho)' is a testament to human achievement and serves as a visual tribute to those who fearlessly took flight during aviation's early days.
