EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a whimsical scene from 1936, illustrated by Benjamin Rabier. In this anthropomorphic illustration, a rat is seen seeking shelter under a mushroom and asking a spleen to join it. The rat humorously offers its umbrella as protection, saying "Let me shelter you under my umbrella!". This image is part of an alphabet primer series aimed at school children. The chromolithograph measures 7 x 10.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. It showcases Rabier's talent for creating humorous and imaginative illustrations with animals as the main characters. The vibrant colors bring the scene to life, adding to the charm of the artwork. This piece reflects the gallantry and humor prevalent in French culture during the early twentieth century. The raindrops falling around the mushroom create a rainy weather setting, emphasizing the need for shelter. Overall, this delightful illustration combines elements of comedy, nature, and human-like characteristics attributed to animals. It serves as both an educational tool for young learners and an amusing work of art that can be appreciated by all ages.
