Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Details 459 came from Daumier's The Wrestler - or The Wrestlers (c1853). Really it should be called both. The pathos of this image involves the juxtaposition. There are the two wrestlers in the arena, bound together in action. And there's the lone foreground wrestler, off-stage, waiting. The stress falls on his built-up, top-heavy, strong-man's physique: a body visibly dedicated to, and marked by, a particular use, which it isn't now performing. Moral: how we become identical with our uses. The picture belongs to the Ordrupgaard Collection, Copenhagen; at the moment it is in the Daumier show at the Grand Palais, Paris.
The first three correct entries came from: L E Blackmore, London WC2; P Tilling, Coleraine; and J Mann, Sale
