The Story of the Bat
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that transports viewers into the enchanting world of Aesop's Fables. Created by Harry Rountree, this early 20th-century print captures a pivotal moment in the fable retold by Blanche Winder. In this scene, we witness an army of birds standing guard as sentries while a bat swoops down to join them. The vibrant colours bring life to the illustration, highlighting the intricate details of each bird and their feathery plumage. As our eyes wander across the image, we can almost hear the fluttering wings and feel the tension in the air. Rountree skillfully conveys both beauty and suspense through his masterful use of lithography. The composition draws us into this fantastical narrative, where animals take on human-like qualities and engage in epic battles. This artwork not only showcases Rountree's artistic prowess but also pays homage to Aesop's timeless tales that have captivated audiences for centuries. It reminds us of how stories have been passed down through generations, teaching valuable lessons about morality and wisdom. As we gaze upon "The Story of the Bat" we are reminded that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing nature's wonders or illustrating poignant narratives. This print serves as a testament to both Rountree's talent and our enduring fascination with animal symbolism within literature and art.
