EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured illustration depicts an unusual encounter between a wolf and a man, set against the backdrop of a quaint wooden cottage. The wolf, dressed in a formal blue tailcoat and top hat, stands next to the house on its hind legs, engaging in conversation with a man in a purple jacket and red hat. The scene exudes an air of whimsy and intrigue, challenging the traditional perception of wolves as fierce and wild creatures. The illustration is believed to date back to circa 1900 and is part of Box 365, Miscellaneous Part 1, Slide number 3, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online. The intricate details of the illustration, from the textures of the wolf's fur to the logs stacked outside the cottage, transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the imaginative world of the past. The use of hand-colouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the illustration, making it a truly unique and captivating piece of historical art. The image invites us to ponder the stories behind this unlikely interaction between man and wolf and to appreciate the boundless creativity of the illustrator. This charming illustration is a testament to the power of art to challenge perceptions and transport us to another time and place.
