EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a terrible outbreak of grisu in a mine located in Illinois, United States. The image depicts the horrifying moment when about fifty miners were buried alive in a tunnel, two hundred meters below ground. Despite the valiant efforts of rescue teams, their attempts to reach the trapped miners have been futile. The scene is filled with panic and chaos as men desperately try to escape the darkness and falling debris. With lanterns illuminating their path, they run for their lives amidst collapsing rocks and crushing stones. The intensity of the situation is palpable as fear grips every worker's face. This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those working underground in mines across America. It highlights both the bravery and vulnerability of these workers who risk their lives daily to extract valuable resources from beneath our feet. The artist Achille Beltrame masterfully captures this harrowing moment through his color lithograph, evoking strong emotions within viewers. This powerful illustration was originally published on January 8th, 1933, accompanying an article in Courier Sunday. Through this image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by miners worldwide and prompted to reflect on how we can improve safety measures to prevent such devastating incidents from occurring again.
