1828 Bribe Counts Holds Humans Ladder Luggage Monkey Concierge
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing image, titled 'Fox Elopes with Hen,' is a charming and whimsical depiction of an unconventional wedding day from the annals of history. The scene is set in the late 1800s, as evidenced by the period clothing and the ornate, Victorian-era luggage. In the foreground, a cunning fox, dressed in a dapper suit and top hat, helps a nervous hen clad in a white gown and veil to climb a ladder. The hen appears to be hesitant, perhaps second-guessing her decision to elope with the sly fox. A curious monkey, holding the ladder steady with one hand and balancing the hen's luggage on his head with the other, watches the scene unfold with wide, curious eyes. The monkey's presence adds an element of surprise and amusement to the scene, as if to suggest that even animals are privy to the human drama unfolding before them. In the background, a sly concierge dog counts his bribe, a pile of gold coins, with a knowing smirk on his face. The dog's role in the elopement is unclear, but it is evident that he is benefiting from the clandestine affair. The image is filled with intrigue, humor, and a sense of the unexpected, making it a delightful addition to any historical collection. This print, from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to ponder the many quirks and surprises that life has to offer. Whether used as a conversation starter, a decorative accent, or a source of inspiration, this image is sure to bring joy and intrigue to any space.
