EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a classic scene from the ancient fable of "The Fox and the Goat," a timeless tale of cunning and deception that has been passed down through generations. In the image, a fox and a goat are shown feeling the intense pangs of thirst, their tongues extended in desperation as they gaze into the cool, inviting waters of a well. Unable to resist the allure of the refreshing liquid, the two animals make the risky decision to jump in and quench their thirst. However, as they struggle to climb out of the well, the sly fox suggests a solution: the goat should climb onto his back and he will help them both escape. Trusting the fox, the goat complies, but once he is securely on the fox's back, the cunning creature makes a dash for it, leaving the goat stranded in the well. This historical print, published by Dodsley in 1761, is a beautiful representation of this classic fable. The intricate details of the animals' expressions and body language convey the complex emotions of the moment, from the goat's trust and vulnerability to the fox's mischievous grin. The print also serves as a reminder of the age-old lesson that one should be wary of those who offer help with ulterior motives. The fable of "The Fox and the Goat" has been a beloved part of folklore for centuries, and this stunning print is a testament to its enduring appeal. Whether you're a history buff, a lover of literature, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-told story, this print is sure to captivate and delight.
