EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photo print, titled "Struggle for Survival" captures a winter landscape in Oslo, Norway during the late 1800s. Painted by Christian Krohg, this masterpiece is housed in the National Museum of Art and serves as a powerful reminder of the hardships faced by impoverished families. In this scene, we witness a mother's unwavering love and determination to provide for her children despite their dire circumstances.

As we gaze upon this artwork, let us remember those who endured such challenging conditions yet found strength within themselves and their families. It serves as a testament to human resilience while urging
