EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration titled "Escape Attempt" by Benjamin Rabier, we are transported to a whimsical world where animals take on human-like qualities. The scene depicts a rat desperately trying to lift the trap door in an audacious attempt to save a prisoner. The year is 1936, and the artist's anthropomorphic illustrations bring humor and charm to this delightful piece. Measuring at 7 x 10.5 cm, this chromolithograph was part of a series of 25 illustrations created for an alphabet primer aimed at school children. Rabier's talent shines through as he skillfully captures the essence of each animal character with vibrant colors and intricate details. The image evokes a sense of suspense as we witness the rat's determination and resourcefulness in his mission to free the captive. We can almost feel the anticipation building as he carefully navigates around the cage, plotting his next move. Rabier's work reflects both his artistic prowess and his ability to infuse humor into everyday situations. This particular illustration showcases his mastery in creating lively scenes that engage viewers of all ages. As we admire this enchanting print from our private collection, let us appreciate Rabier's contribution to early twentieth-century art with his unique blend of anthropomorphism, wit, and creativity.
