EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by John Leighton, titled "Hares are not caught with beat of drum, nor birds with tartlets" transports us to a world where wisdom and morality intertwine. The image is part of the collection "Moral Emblems with Aphorisms, Adages, and Proverbs of All Ages and Nations" and beautifully captures the essence of an ancient adage. Leighton's intricate artwork depicts a scene that reminds us of the futility in using force or allure to achieve our goals. In this historical setting, we witness a drummer beating his instrument vigorously while surrounded by hares running freely in all directions. Similarly, perched on a branch nearby are birds seemingly uninterested in the delicious tartlets laid out before them. The artist's interpretation invites contemplation about human nature and our relentless pursuit for success. It serves as a reminder that true achievements cannot be forced or manipulated but rather require patience, strategy, and respect for natural processes. Through this engraving, Leighton masterfully combines history and artistry to convey timeless lessons about life's moral complexities. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print from centuries past, we are reminded that wisdom can be found not only through words but also within visual representations like this one – forever capturing profound truths for generations to come.
