Original illustration by Achille Beltrame for the cover of the October 28 issue of La Domenica del Corriere, 1934 (Nautilus Collection) – In the embrace of the monster. A giant gorilla, weighing around 250 kg and living in the Berlin Zoological Garden, used to play with the janitor in charge of keeping its cage clean. One day the animal suddenly flared up, and squeezed the unfortunate keeper in its hairy arms, leaving him seriously injured before a frightened crowd of bystanders.
