EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "A cock in a tree outwits a fox, while a dog sleeps" transports us into the world of Aesop's fables. Created by Samuel Howitt in 1811, this intricate artwork brings to life the cunning tale of an intelligent rooster who cleverly evades the sly advances of a fox. In this scene, we see the rooster perched high up on a tree branch, its vibrant feathers contrasting against the lush green foliage. With keen eyes and quick thinking, it outsmarts the wily fox lurking below. Meanwhile, nestled in a hollow nearby is an oblivious sleeping dog – perhaps serving as both comic relief and symbolism for unawareness amidst danger. Howitt's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his copperplate etching. The texture and shading bring depth to each character: from the alert expression on the rooster's face to the mischievous glint in the fox's eye. This artistic masterpiece not only showcases nature's beauty but also serves as an allegory for human behavior and survival instincts. The inclusion of this print in Howitt's larger work "A New Work of Animals" demonstrates his fascination with animal behavior and their portrayal within literature. Through this image, we are reminded of Aesop's timeless wisdom that intelligence can triumph over adversity if one remains vigilant and resourceful. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from centuries past, we are transported into an age-old story where animals become our teachers and art becomes our window into their world.
