EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithographic print titled "An Androcles of Today, the King of Beasts in His True Colours" by Phil May tells a powerful story through its intricate details. The image depicts an old man named Jones, who is commonly referred to as "Poor Jones" and his encounter with a lion. In this modern-day adaptation of the classic tale of Androcles and the Lion, Poor Jones finds himself face-to-face with a majestic but wounded lion. With thorns embedded in its paw, the king of beasts appears vulnerable and helpless. In a true act of compassion and bravery, Poor Jones comes to the aid of the suffering creature. The artist's skillful use of colors brings this heartwarming narrative to life. The vibrant hues highlight both the pain endured by the lion and Poor Jones' empathetic nature. Through this artwork, we are reminded that even in our contemporary world, acts of kindness can bridge gaps between species. May's illustration for A Phil May Medley (Graphic, 1903) beautifully captures this timeless story that teaches us not only about empathy but also about realizing our own potential for goodness within ourselves. It serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes it takes an unlikely hero like Poor Jones to remind us all what it truly means to be compassionate beings in today's society.
