EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Samuel Howitt, titled "A raven tries to wash to be more like the white swans" transports us into a world of fables and enchantment. In this scene, we witness a raven desperately attempting to rid itself of its black plumage in an effort to resemble the elegant white swans that grace a serene pond. The artist draws inspiration from Aesop's timeless tales, where animals often take on human characteristics and teach valuable lessons. Howitt's meticulous copperplate etching brings these creatures to life with remarkable detail and precision. The contrast between the dark feathers of the raven and the pure-white beauty of the swans creates a visually striking composition. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of our own desires for transformation and acceptance. The image evokes feelings of longing and self-reflection as we contemplate whether it is possible or even necessary for us to change who we are in order to fit societal expectations. It serves as a poignant reminder that true beauty lies not in conforming but embracing our unique qualities. Through his masterful technique, Howitt invites us into a world where animals become allegorical figures, teaching us profound truths about ourselves and society at large. This print captures both the whimsy and wisdom found within Aesop's fables while showcasing Howitt's artistic prowess.
