EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, created in 1811 by Samuel Howitt, depicts a powerful scene of nature's rawness and cunning. In the heart of a dimly lit cave, we witness a lion devouring the carcass of a stag. The intensity is palpable as the lion feasts on its prey with primal determination. However, this image holds more than just an animalistic spectacle. It illustrates one of Aesop's timeless fables - the story of a cunning fox who flattered the stag into entering the lion's den. The stag fell victim to its own naivety and now serves as sustenance for the mighty predator. Samuel Howitt skillfully captures this moment through his copperplate etching technique, bringing life and detail to each stroke. His work is part of "A New Work of Animals" where he draws inspiration from Aesop's fables along with other renowned poets such as Gay and Phaedrus. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of nature's unforgiving cycle but also how our actions can lead us astray if guided solely by flattery or deceit. This piece invites us to reflect on our own vulnerabilities while admiring Howitt's artistic prowess in capturing both beauty and caution within one frame.
