EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of a classic fable from English folklore - the cunning fox outsmarting its hunters. Dating back to circa 1870 and inspired by the timeless tales of La Fontaine, this image depicts a scene where the sly fox hides among dead foxes and birds on a gallows, as men and dogs pass by unnoticed in the night. The cleverness of the fox is evident as it evades death at the hands of its enemies, showcasing its survival instincts and ability to outwit even those who seek to harm it. The tension between predator and prey is palpable in this hauntingly beautiful composition, reminding us of the harsh realities of hunting in nature. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where animals must rely on their wits to survive against all odds. The intricate details and rich symbolism woven throughout this piece invite us to reflect on our own relationships with nature and our place within it. Intriguing and thought-provoking, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the age-old fables that continue to captivate audiences around the world.
