EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the incredible story of aviator Martin Jensen and his daring journey to transport a lion from San Diego to New York in 1927.

Despite the wreckage surrounding them, both aviator and beast emerged unharmed thanks to the sturdy cage that protected the majestic lion throughout their turbulent adventure.

Beltrame's illustration for La Domenica Del Corriere perfectly encapsulates this extraordinary event, showcasing not only the bravery of Jensen but also highlighting humanity's fascination with aviation and our enduring connection with wild animals.

It also symbolizes our ongoing efforts to explore new frontiers while respecting and protecting nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit that drives us forward, pushing boundaries and overcoming obstacles.
