Dressed Forcibly Hind Holds Human Legs Path Pushed Rope Slides Stick Tailcoat Wolf
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing hand-coloured illustration, found in Box 365, Miscellaneous Part 1, depicts an unusual scene of a wolf transformed into a human-like figure. Dressed in a formal blue tailcoat and top hat, the wolf stands on its hind legs, looking displeased as it is forcibly pushed along a winding path. A group of men in hats, one of whom holds a stick and a rope, surround the wolf, applying pressure to make it move. The date of this slide is estimated to be around 1900. This image, with its historical charm and air of mystery, offers a glimpse into the past and the way humans have depicted animals in various forms throughout history. The use of hand-colouring adds a layer of depth and richness to the illustration, making it a fascinating piece for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the art of the past. The wolf's human-like appearance, dressed in formal attire, may represent an allegory or a symbolic representation of power and control over nature. Alternatively, it could be a playful depiction of the anthropomorphic tendency in art and storytelling. Regardless of its meaning, this illustration is a testament to the creativity and imagination of the artist and the era in which it was created.
