EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Tale of a Dog" takes us back to the 19th century, where we witness a delightful scene filled with rollicking animals and mischievous children. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of this playful moment, transporting us to a time when lighter accomplishments were celebrated. In this enchanting print, we see a young brewing pupil accompanied by his loyal dog and an amusing cock. The dogs in good society are presented as more than mere pets; they have earned their place through their pompous yet funny demeanor. However, it seems that these clever canines have an aversion to poultry, chivying them away whenever they get too close. The children in the image appear enthralled by this tale being acted out before them. Neglecting their monotonous chores for just a moment, they enjoy the company of these lively creatures during their afternoons' work and nights' repose. At any given moment's notice, they engage in games with balls or walking sticks alongside farm animals and birds alike. This charming engraving reminds us of the joy found in simple pleasures and unexpected friendships. It transports us to a time when parlour games were not limited to humans but extended to our furry friends as well. With its vibrant depiction of wildlife animals mingling with livestock on the farm, "Tale of a Dog" invites us into an enchanting world where imagination knows no bounds.
