EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Groundwork of Conny-Catching" an engraving published in 1592 by the English School. The artwork, part of a private collection, takes us back to the intriguing world of Elizabethan England. In this image, we are introduced to a confidence trickster, masterfully deceiving his unsuspecting victims. The conman's cunning nature is beautifully captured through intricate details and expert craftsmanship. His sly smile hints at the deceit he employs to manipulate those around him. The rabbit depicted alongside the deceiver adds another layer of symbolism to this artwork. Rabbits have long been associated with trickery and illusion, further emphasizing the theme of deception prevalent throughout Elizabethan society. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back in time to an era where con artists thrived amidst societal chaos. This engraving serves as a reminder that deceit has always existed within human nature and that even during times as revered as the Elizabethan period, individuals were not immune from falling victim to clever manipulators. Bridgeman Images' preservation of this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with tales of deception and reminds us that appearances can often be deceiving - even in art itself.
