Title: 'Snowballing' by Edouard Frère, Published in *The Illustrated London News*, 1876
Description: This lively and detailed illustration by Edouard Frère, titled 'Snowballing', captures the playful and energetic spirit of a snowball fight among children. The scene takes place outside a large building, possibly a school or church, with several young boys engaging in a spirited snowball battle. The winter atmosphere, with snow covering the ground and the boys bundled in coats and scarves, adds to the festive energy of the scene.
Originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 19, 1876, the print brings to life a moment of childhood fun during the winter months. The composition shows the excitement and camaraderie among the children as they run, throw snowballs, and dodge incoming ones, all set against a backdrop of leafless trees and snow-laden streets. The scene beautifully captures the innocence and joy of wintertime play. This type of engraving was a common feature in 19th-century illustrated periodicals, which sought to depict both everyday life and special seasonal moments. Frère’s attention to detail and his ability to convey movement and expression make this print an enduring depiction of childhood joy.
