EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from 1811, titled "A Camel Begging Jupiter for Horns" is a visual representation of a fable by the Greek author Aesop. In this scene, we see a camel pleading with the mighty god Jupiter for horns. The Greek deity is depicted riding on the back of an eagle, symbolizing his power and authority. The intricate details in Samuel Howitt's copperplate etching bring this ancient tale to life. The image showcases not only the camel and Jupiter but also various other animals that add depth to the composition. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with animal symbolism throughout history. The juxtaposition of the majestic eagle and humble camel highlights themes of desire and ambition. Through this fable, Aesop teaches us about contentment and accepting ourselves as we are instead of longing for what others possess. Samuel Howitt's work beautifully captures both the physicality and emotion within this story. His attention to detail brings out every line in each creature's form, evoking a sense of realism while still maintaining an ethereal quality. This print serves as a testament to British culture during the early 19th century when interest in classical mythology was at its peak. It invites viewers into an imaginative world where gods interacted with mortals through allegorical tales like those penned by Aesop himself.
