EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by George Bouverie Goddard that takes us back to the 19th century. This intriguing image, part of a private collection, was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 21,1867. In this scene, we are transported to a snowy countryside where nature's drama unfolds. A group of chickens cautiously peck at the ground while keeping an eye out for any potential danger lurking nearby. Little do they know that their peaceful search for sustenance is being closely observed by cunning foxes hiding in the shadows. Goddard skillfully captures the tension and anticipation in this moment as he depicts both predator and prey engaged in their primal dance. The birds' vulnerability contrasts with the sly determination of the foxes, creating a sense of imminent conflict. This enchanting print serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by animals during winter months when food becomes scarce. It also reflects upon our own traditions surrounding Christmas dinner - a time when we gather around tables laden with abundance while these creatures struggle to survive. Through his masterful technique and attention to detail, Goddard invites us into this frozen landscape where survival instincts reign supreme. "Foraging for a Christmas Dinner" not only showcases his artistic prowess but also prompts us to reflect on our relationship with nature and how it intertwines with our festive celebrations.
