EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Generous Revenge" artist Percy J. Billingshurst takes us on a whimsical journey into the world of animals and their extraordinary anecdotes. Published in 1924, this print is part of the renowned collection known as A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals. The scene unfolds with a touch of humor and irony as we witness a man stranded in the middle of a moat, desperately clinging to his walking stick for support. However, it is not long before our attention shifts to an unexpected savior - a loyal dog aboard a small tugboat. With determination shining in its eyes, the courageous canine steers towards the distressed man, ready to rescue him from his watery predicament. This heartwarming act exemplifies both bravery and compassion within our animal friends. As we delve deeper into this enchanting artwork, we are reminded that even when faced with adversity or mistreatment, animals possess an innate sense of justice and kindness. The moral lesson embedded within this anecdote serves as a gentle reminder for us humans to treat all creatures with respect and empathy. Billingshurst's meticulous engravings bring life to each stroke, capturing not only the physicality but also the essence of these remarkable tales. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect upon our own actions while marveling at the extraordinary bonds between humans and animals. This timeless piece from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection continues to inspire viewers across generations by celebrating both human-animal
