This evocative image serves as a reminder that while some may find solace and luxury during winter months, others endure harsh conditions without shelter or warmth. Through this historical print, we are transported back to early 20th-century France where societal divisions were laid bare against a wintry backdrop. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in addressing such disparities while urging us to continue striving for
