EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dolphins destroying sardines" takes us back to the 23rd of March, 1913. The front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre showcases a vibrant colour litho by the French School of the 20th century. This artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts an intense scene where dolphins wreak havoc on a school of sardines. The image portrays a chaotic moment at sea as fishermen battle against nature's forces. A group of laborers can be seen aboard their boat, working tirelessly to catch fish using nets and oars. However, their efforts are disrupted by the violent leaping dolphins that have infiltrated their fishing grounds. The artist skillfully captures the tension and energy in this dramatic encounter between man and marine life. The composition highlights not only the struggle for survival but also the delicate balance between humans and nature. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of our connection with the natural world and how unpredictable it can be. It is an invitation to reflect on our place within this vast ecosystem and appreciate both its beauty and power. This artwork transcends its initial purpose as an illustration for Le Petit Journal; it becomes a window into history that sparks curiosity about past times when human livelihoods were closely intertwined with nature's whims.
