EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration, titled "The Frozen Pond," dates back to circa 1901 and is a poignant work by the renowned French caricaturists Les Maitres de la Caricature. The image captures the dismay of two frogs, one huddled under the icy waters and the other gazing up at the frigid surface from the frozen pond's edge. The frog below, submerged in the freezing water, clings to a piece of ice, its expression one of despair and resignation. The frog above, shivering in the cold, stretches its limbs out in a futile attempt to bridge the gap between them. The once vibrant and lively pond is now a still, silent expanse of ice, a stark reminder of the passing of the seasons. This poignant illustration, published in the January issue of the French satirical magazine, resonates with the melancholic beauty of nature in winter and the inevitable passage of time.
