EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Old hag seated at the hearth in a hovel surrounded by cats" transports us to a humble abode in 1811. The scene depicts an elderly woman, deemed an old hag and mistaken for a witch due to her solitary existence with feline companions. As we peer into the frame, we witness the woman's weathered face illuminated by the warm glow of the hearth. She sits amidst her meager surroundings, embraced by an array of cats that have found solace within her dwelling. Their presence suggests a symbiotic relationship between human and animal, where both find comfort and companionship. Samuel Howitt masterfully captures this moment from life through his copperplate etching technique. Drawing inspiration from English poet John Gay's fable, he brings forth a visual representation of age-old tales passed down through generations. The dilapidated state of the hovel serves as a stark reminder of poverty and hardship prevalent during this era. Yet despite these circumstances, there is resilience evident in both the woman and her feline friends. This print not only showcases Howitt's artistic prowess but also invites contemplation on themes such as aging, isolation, and our connection with animals. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments or when society misunderstands us, there can still be beauty found within simplicity and unlikely companionship.
