EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the winter of 1901, as depicted in The Illustrated London News. Created by Amedee Forestier and now part of a private collection, this enchanting artwork combines humor, justice, and poetry into one mesmerizing scene. In this whimsical engraving, we are transported to a snowy street where mischievous children playfully engage with law enforcement. As crime tries to make its escape on swift heels, Justice herself appears determined not to let it slip away. With her scales held high and sword at the ready, she chases after the fleeing culprit. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element in the composition adds depth and charm. From the intricate engravings on each child's clothing to their animated expressions filled with excitement and mischief – Forestier captures their youthful energy perfectly. This delightful print reminds us that even in times of winter coldness, justice prevails over wrongdoing. It serves as a timeless reminder that no matter how fast crime may run or hide, it will always be pursued by those who seek truth and fairness. With its rich historical context and playful narrative, "Justice on the Heels of Crime (litho)" invites viewers young and old alike to ponder upon themes such as morality and consequence while appreciating Forestier's artistic brilliance.
