EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Epreuve du saut en hauteur, classe B" by George Henry Thompson takes us back to the early 1900s when anthropomorphic illustrations were all the rage. The image is a delightful blend of humor and athleticism, showcasing animals participating in an Olympic-style high jump event. In this whimsical scene, various animal characters are seen hurdling over a bar with great enthusiasm and determination. From rabbits to cats and even a cheeky monkey, each participant brings their own unique flair to the competition. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every comical expression and exaggerated movement of these anthropomorphized creatures. The illustration was originally created for "Les Animaux au Jeux Olympiques" a publication by Hachette around 1900. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate the intricate engraving work that went into its creation. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the joyous spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie found in athletic events like the Olympics. It serves as a lighthearted reminder that even in competitive settings, there is always room for laughter and amusement. Bridgeman Images has preserved this charming piece from their private collection, ensuring that it continues to bring smiles to viewers' faces for years to come.
