The Passage of the Equator - A Vibrant Celebration of Travel and Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Passage of the Equator" captures a momentous ceremonial event that took place in the early 20th century. Created by Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame, this colourful lithograph showcases a lively gathering of people from different walks of life, adorned in an array of traditional costumes. In this vibrant scene, we witness the baptismal ritual that marks the crossing of the equator for first-time travelers. The participants are surrounded by a diverse array of wildlife animals, including fish swimming gracefully through crystal-clear waters. These creatures symbolize both the wonders and challenges encountered during such voyages. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully portrays every aspect of this ceremony – from intricate clothing designs to joyful expressions on each individual's face. The Italian flag proudly waves in the background, representing national pride amidst this international gathering. Published in La Domenica del Corriere in July 1920, this artwork not only celebrates exploration but also highlights cultural exchange and unity among nations. It serves as a reminder that no matter our differences or origins, we can come together to honor ancient traditions and embrace new experiences. As you gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let it transport you back to a time when crossing the equator was an extraordinary adventure filled with excitement and camaraderie.
