Created by an anonymous English School artist, this color lithograph is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a fox surrounded by various symbols associated with divination and fortune-telling. The message conveyed is clear: when the fox appears near someone's card, caution should be exercised regarding their acquaintances. Some may attempt to deceive or mislead them. However, if the fox remains at a distance, there is no danger present.

With its intricate details and rich symbolism, this print offers both aesthetic pleasure and historical significance. It invites us to ponder upon our own encounters with deceitful acquaintances while reminding us that sometimes keeping a safe distance can protect us from harm's way.
