EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from 1811 by Samuel Howitt depicts a fierce battle for survival in the animal kingdom. In this intense scene, a lion, bear, wolf, and fox are locked in a heated struggle over the carcass of a deer. The lion stands triumphantly with its left foreleg on the belly of the fallen prey, while being closely watched by the snarling bear, wolf, and fox. The artwork is based on a fable by Greek author Aesop and serves as an illustration of his timeless moral teachings. Through this image, Howitt brings to life the harsh realities of nature where hunger drives these animals to fight fiercely for their share of food. Howitt's copperplate etching showcases his exceptional talent in capturing intricate details from life itself. This particular piece was drawn and engraved for his publication "A New Work of Animals" which drew inspiration from various fables including those by Aesop, Gay, and Phaedrus. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to early 19th century Britain where natural history studies were flourishing alongside literary pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our civilized society, there remains an untamed world where survival instincts reign supreme.
