EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical illustration titled "Horseback riding", we are transported to a world where three gutter cats find themselves in awe of their feline companion perched on the back of a bell tower rooster. The image, created by Benjamin Rabier in 1936, captures the essence of anthropomorphism and humor. The cats, with wide-eyed expressions, gaze up at their daring friend who fearlessly rides atop the majestic rooster. Their admiration is palpable as they witness this extraordinary feat. It's as if they are witnessing a grand spectacle that defies all expectations. Rabier's use of vibrant colors brings life to the scene, making it even more enchanting. The rich hues highlight every detail - from the intricate patterns on the roof tiles to the playful expressions on each cat's face. This illustration was part of a series called "Illustrious points for school children" and served as an alphabet primer or abecedary. Each letter was accompanied by an animal character engaged in various humorous activities. This particular print showcases both Rabier's artistic talent and his ability to captivate young minds through storytelling. As we delve into this charming piece, we can't help but be reminded of our own childhood imaginations running wild with possibilities. It serves as a delightful reminder that sometimes all it takes is a touch of whimsy to transport us into fantastical worlds where anything is possible.
