EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures the tragic "Death of Martin the polar bear" in vivid color lithography. The image, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, portrays a heart-wrenching scene that evokes deep sadness and highlights the cruelty inflicted upon innocent animals. Martin, a majestic polar bear who resided in Paris' Jardin de Plantes for over three decades, met his untimely demise due to a horrifying act of malicious intent. Unbeknownst to him, he was fed a loaf of bread laced with hidden nails, leading to his agonizing suffering and eventual euthanasia. The illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on May 26th, 1901, serving as a poignant reminder of the consequences of human callousness towards wildlife. It stands as a testament to both Martin's life cut short and the broader issue of animal captivity. In this somber depiction, we witness Martin's lifeless body being tenderly removed from his enclosure at Jardin des Plantes. The sorrow etched onto every face present reflects not only grief for this magnificent creature but also serves as an indictment against those responsible for such senseless acts.

It is a stark reminder that compassion should be extended beyond borders and cultures if we are to preserve the beauty and diversity of our
