EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "He tells us: don't cry, Act!" transports viewers to the intriguing world of animal anthropomorphism in 19th-century France. Created by Andrew Best Leloir, this wood engraving is part of the collection "Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals" dating back to ca. 1837-47. In this thought-provoking image, a rat stands behind bars within a prison cell, symbolizing captivity and imprisonment. The rat's expression reflects both fear and determination as it listens intently to an unseen figure who urges action instead of tears. This powerful metaphor explores themes of crime, punishment, and justice. Leloir masterfully captures the essence of this concept through his meticulous black-and-white composition. The use of black ink against white paper enhances the starkness and intensity of the scene while adding depth to its emotional impact. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork showcases Leloir's exceptional talent in bringing animals into a human-like realm through his engravings. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to conveying complex ideas or emotions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are compelled to reflect on our own actions and choices in life. Leloir invites us not only to empathize with these anthropomorphic creatures but also encourages us to take charge in challenging circumstances rather than succumbing to despair or helplessness.
