Come Cockerel, Come!, 1903
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from the renowned French newspaper Le Petit Journal, published on 9th August 1903. This satirical engraving, created in the early 20th century, depicts a fascinating metaphorical scene that unfolds before our eyes. In this vibrant colored print, we find ourselves amidst an animated discussion between three distinct characters – a regal lion, a cunning wolf, and an audacious cockerel. The animals are dressed in human clothes and hats, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. The front cover artwork showcases these creatures engaged in a face-to-face debate outside. The referee-like bird stands between them as they passionately exchange their views. It seems as though they are discussing matters of great importance or perhaps even engaging in some form of negotiation. This clever satire by an unknown artist captures the essence of societal dynamics during that era. Through this thought-provoking image, we witness how power struggles and conflicts were not limited to humans alone but could be observed among various species as well. The skillful use of color and intricate details bring life to each character while highlighting their unique personalities. The confident rooster symbolizes courage and resilience against formidable opponents like the lion and wolf. As we admire this remarkable art media print from Heritage Images' collection dating back to the late 19th century through AccuSoft Inc. , it serves as a reminder that visual storytelling has always been at the heart of human expression throughout
