EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" transports us to a winter scene filled with natural beauty and hints of adventure. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this illustration captures a moment that speaks volumes about human nature. In the midst of a snowy landscape, we see a middle-aged man standing beneath a towering tree. His presence exudes resilience and determination as he holds onto a majestic goose firmly grasped in his hand. The phrase "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" comes to mind, reminding us of the value of what we already possess compared to uncertain possibilities. Accompanying our protagonist is his loyal collie dog, ever watchful and ready for action. This image evokes thoughts of hunting expeditions and survival instincts passed down through generations. The vibrant colors used bring life to this wintry tableau, contrasting against the white backdrop. As we admire this lithograph, it becomes clear that it represents more than just an artistic creation; it embodies themes such as wildlife preservation, scientific exploration, and even societal norms from times past. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and a thought-provoking piece that invites contemplation on our relationship with nature and its delicate balance. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with access to remarkable artwork that transcends time while offering glimpses into history's tapestry.
