Benjamin Rabier - Nos Frères Inférieurs - 1920

Superb edition of this illustrated album by Benjamin Rabier devoted to the animal world, comprising about forty color plates accompanied by humorous captions, in which the author observes animals as reflections of human society and transforms their natural behaviors into scenes full of wit, satire and tenderness -

The work presents a vast gallery of domestic, wild or farmyard animals to whom feelings, faults, qualities and attitudes borrowed from humans are attributed, thus creating an anthropomorphic universe where the beasts become the protagonists of small comedies of daily life -

Rabier stages the rivalries, blunders, wiles, joys, fears and ambitions of the animals, while highlighting the resemblances that unite the animal kingdom and humanity -
