In this engraving titled "Where Be Your Jibes Now?" by James Dawson Watson, we are transported to a wintry scene filled with jesters and their faithful canine companions. The image, originally published in The Illustrated London News on 18 December 1880, invites us to ponder the power dynamics between those who mock and those who endure. Set against a backdrop of pristine snow-covered grounds, the jesters stand defiantly amidst swirling flakes. Their colorful costumes and exaggerated expressions hint at their role as entertainers, but there is an undeniable sense of vulnerability beneath their masks. As they confront the biting cold and relentless jibes from unseen spectators, one cannot help but wonder if these jesters have finally found solace in each other's company. The inclusion of dogs adds another layer of intrigue to the composition. These loyal creatures faithfully accompany their masters through thick and thin, providing comfort and companionship even in the harshest conditions. Perhaps they serve as a reminder that true strength lies not in mockery or derision but in unwavering loyalty and support. Watson's skillful execution brings this thought-provoking scene to life with intricate details that captivate our imagination. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, he creates an atmosphere that is both melancholic yet strangely beautiful. "Where Be Your Jibes Now?" serves as a poignant reflection on human nature – reminding us that while words may wound momentarily, resilience can triumph over adversity when we find unity amongst
