EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Sow and the Wolf" artist Percy J. Billingshurst brings to life one of Aesop's timeless fables from his collection of a hundred tales. Published in 1903, this print captures the essence of storytelling that has been passed down through generations. The scene depicts a mother sow surrounded by her adorable piglets, nestled under a large turnip plant. Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows is a menacing wolf, eyeing the vulnerable family with hunger in its eyes. The contrast between innocence and danger is palpable as we witness the delicate balance between survival and vulnerability. Aesop's fables often carry moral lessons, teaching children important values through engaging animal characters. This particular tale reminds us of the importance of unity and strength in numbers against adversity. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with threats or challenges, there is power in sticking together and supporting one another. "The Sow and the Wolf" print not only captivates viewers with its intricate details but also invites contemplation on deeper themes such as courage, protection, and resilience. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, it transports us back to our childhood days when fables like these sparked our imagination while imparting valuable life lessons that continue to resonate today.
