EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a whimsical moment in nature's embrace. In the midst of a rainstorm, an unlikely duo seeks shelter under the tail of a squirrel. The rat, seeking solace from the pouring rain, finds comfort and protection beneath the furry appendage of its fellow creature. Taken in 1936 by Benjamin Rabier, this illustration is part of a series called "Illustrious points for school children". Measuring 7 x 10.5 cm, it showcases Rabier's talent for anthropomorphic illustrations with his signature touch of humor. The image transports us to a simpler time when imagination ran wild and animals took on human characteristics. It reminds us that even in the animal kingdom, camaraderie and compassion can be found amidst adversity. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this enchanting scene as raindrops fall gracefully around them. The squirrel stands tall with its tail arched protectively over its newfound friend while maintaining an air of composure. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of unity and empathy across species boundaries. It reminds us that sometimes we find support where we least expect it – under the sheltering tail of another being who understands our need for refuge from life's storms.
