EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful 19th-century print, we witness a truly unexpected sight that has caught two women off guard. A mischievous fox is captured mid-air as it gracefully leaps over a garden gate, leaving the ladies in awe and astonishment. The older woman's surprise is so great that she accidentally drops and shatters her flowerpot, adding an element of chaos to the scene. This whimsical artwork titled "Fox jumping over a gate" by Randolph Caldecott transports us back to a time when leisure activities were simple yet filled with wonder. The image captures the essence of rural life during this era, where encounters with wildlife were not uncommon. Although unseen in the picture, we can imagine huntsmen and hounds hot on the fox's trail, creating an exciting chase through picturesque countryside. This adds an element of adventure to what initially appears as a tranquil garden setting. The print showcases Caldecott's mastery in capturing both movement and emotion within his illustrations. His attention to detail brings each character to life; from the startled expressions on the women's faces to the fox's agile leap frozen in time. Published by George Routledge & Sons in London in 1883, this charming piece remains timeless even today. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us into different worlds and evoke emotions across generations.
