The Fox and the Rook
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that brings to life one of Aesop's timeless fables. Created by Harry Rountree, this illustration captures a pivotal moment in the story with incredible detail and vibrant colours. In this scene, we see the cunning fox plotting against the simpering rook. As the foolish bird opens her beak to sing, unaware of the fox's devious plan, a piece of cold beef slips from her grasp and falls softly into the bracken below. The artist masterfully portrays both characters' expressions - the sly grin on the fox's face contrasting with the rook's innocent naivety. Rountree's skillful use of colour adds depth and richness to this enchanting image. The lush greens of nature blend harmoniously with warm earth tones, creating an inviting atmosphere for viewers to immerse themselves in this whimsical world. This print not only showcases Rountree's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of Aesop's enduring wisdom. It reminds us to be cautious when dealing with those who may have ulterior motives or seek personal gain at our expense. "The Fox and the Rook" is more than just an illustration; it is a visual poem that transports us back in time while conveying important moral lessons through its beauty.
