A Little Pride before a Fall
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating cartoon illustration from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson and Pollinger Ltd. This classic piece of historical art, published in the Illustrated London News in November 1924, showcases a humorous yet poignant moment in the world of skiing. The image depicts two skiers making their way down a snowy mountain slope. The skier on the right, with a smug expression and an arrogant posture, is clearly taking pride in his superior skills on the slopes. His companion, on the left, seems to be carelessly following behind, oblivious to the potential danger. Suddenly, an avalanche is triggered, and the arrogant skier is caught off guard. With remarkable presence of mind, his companion quickly calls out to him, grabbing his attention and saving him from certain disaster. The fallacious pride of the first skier is brought crashing down to earth, highlighting the importance of awareness, caution, and companionship in the thrilling yet unpredictable sport of skiing. This timeless cartoon, with its clever use of humor and insightful commentary on human nature, continues to resonate with audiences today. It serves as a reminder that a little pride before a fall can lead to unexpected consequences, and that the carelessness of one can put both ourselves and those around us at risk. This exquisite piece of historical art is a must-have for any collection focused on the history of skiing, sports, or cartoons. Its enduring appeal and timeless message make it a classic addition to any home or office decor. Credit: Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans.
