EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting lithograph captures a scene of Lemmings rushing to their inevitable destruction, a powerful reminder of the fragility of life in the natural world. The image, originally published in My Magazine - the Monthly Companion of The Children's Newspaper in 1923, shows these small creatures plunging headlong into the unknown depths below.
The Lemmings' frenzied descent symbolizes themes of mortality and fate, as they follow an instinctual path towards their demise. The stark black and white contrast adds to the dramatic impact of this moment frozen in time.
Set against a backdrop of swirling seas and crashing waves, this scene evokes both awe and sadness at the cycle of life and death that plays out endlessly in nature. The Lemmings' journey serves as a poignant metaphor for our own struggles against forces beyond our control.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own vulnerability and interconnectedness with all living beings on Earth. It is a sobering reflection on the impermanence of existence and the relentless march towards an uncertain future.
In capturing this poignant moment, the English School artist behind this work has created a timeless masterpiece that continues to resonate with viewers today.
