EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Hail" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century, when educational cards were used as a means of teaching about various subjects. Part of a series on weather, this particular card delves into the fascinating phenomenon of hailstorms. The image showcases a scene filled with swirling hailstones, falling from dark storm clouds above. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and power of these icy projectiles, emphasizing their potential for causing pain and destruction. Amidst this tumultuous weather event, cherubs can be seen observing curiously from above, adding an element of whimsy to an otherwise harsh natural occurrence. It is evident that meteorology was already being studied scientifically during this period, as indicated by the presence of meteorologists depicted in the artwork. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with understanding and predicting weather patterns. Printed on Liebig cards - popular collectibles at the time - this piece not only educates but also captivates viewers with its vivid colors and attention to detail. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how far our scientific methods have come in unraveling nature's mysteries. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate and reflect upon; it stands as both a work of art and an important artifact in our ongoing quest to comprehend the world around us.
