Dramatic Rescue (Colour Litho)

Dramatic rescue. Mrs. Norma V was walking on the shores of Lake Lavarone (Trentino) with her two little daughters, Ivana, who was 4 years old and Franca, a few months old. Suddenly Ivana broke away from her mother and rushed over a trampoline, here she lost her balance and fell into the water. The mother, without thinking about the little girl she was holding, jumped into the lake, grabbed Ivana, while Franca, who had escaped her, was dragged away by the current. Called back by his desperate cries, some passers-by came and saved all three of them. Illustration for La Domenica Del Corriere, 8 December 1957.
