EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting engraving from 1903, titled "The Birds, the Beasts and the Bat" we are transported into a whimsical world of fables and morals. The print showcases a starlit night with a crescent moon hanging in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the scene. Perched on branches are various birds - majestic pheasants displaying their vibrant plumage while owls keep watchful eyes. A bat gracefully hovers amidst them all, its wings spread wide as if embracing both bird and beast. This image reminds us of Aesop's timeless tales that teach valuable lessons through animal characters. It invites us to ponder upon the moral implications hidden within these stories. As we gaze at this artwork, we can't help but imagine ourselves immersed in this nocturnal gathering of creatures. Each one represents different traits and characteristics that mirror our own human nature. The squirrel scurrying along adds an element of liveliness to the composition, reminding us that even amidst darkness and uncertainty, life continues to thrive. "The Birds, the Beasts and the Bat" is not just a visual delight; it serves as a gentle reminder for introspection. It encourages us to explore our own actions and choices by drawing inspiration from these age-old fables. Through this evocative print captured by Percy J. Billingshurst, we are reminded that wisdom can be found in unexpected places - even under starry skies where bats soar alongside birds while beasts roam below.
