EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fox Chasing" takes us back to the year 1924, capturing a moment of exhilaration in the animal kingdom. The engraving by Percy J. Billingshurst is part of his renowned collection, A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals. In this humorous scene, we witness a thrilling hunt unfolding on a rooftop. A cunning fox named Reynard darts across the chimney stacks with unmatched agility, skillfully evading the relentless pursuit of a pack of hounds. The image beautifully captures the tension and excitement that accompanies such pursuits. Beyond its entertainment value, this artwork carries an underlying moral message. It reminds us that even in nature's grand theater, where survival instincts reign supreme, wit and resourcefulness can tip the scales in one's favor. As viewers immerse themselves in this lively chase between predator and prey, they are encouraged to reflect upon their own lives and consider how cleverness can be employed to overcome challenges. The impeccable detail captured through Billingshurst's engraving technique transports us back in time to witness this timeless spectacle firsthand. This extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection serves as an enduring testament to both the beauty and complexity found within our natural world - reminding us why art continues to captivate audiences throughout history.
