EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a Christmas morn in the late, Victorian era, our mischievous friend Fox embarked on an extraordinary adventure, as depicted in this charming print. With the crisp air of winter all around, Fox found himself in the company of Crow and Goose, who were huddled together for warmth by the side of the road. The cunning Fox, with a twinkle in his eye, devised a plan to outwit his unsuspecting companions. In a playful nod to Aesop's fables, our Fox, with his sly grin, whispered to the gullible Goose, "Crow is planning to steal your golden eggs! You must hide them before it's too late." Goose, believing the warning, quickly hid her precious eggs in a nearby bush. Fox, with a wink to Crow, then boasted, "I've just saved Goose from Crow's clutches! She's hidden her eggs for safekeeping." A delighted Crow, grateful for the heads-up, thanked Fox and offered him a reward. But Fox, ever the trickster, had a surprise in store. He led Crow to the bush where Goose had hidden her eggs and, with a sly grin, gobbled them up in one swift gulp. As the sun began to set on this whimsical Christmas tale, Fox, Crow, and Goose continued their journey, each with a newfound appreciation for the unexpected twists and turns of life. This delightful print, reminiscent of the 1890s, serves as a reminder that even during the most festive of seasons, the world is full of surprises and adventures waiting to be discovered.
