EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Samuel Howitt, titled "A traveller in turban plays dead while attacked by a bear" transports us into the heart of an ancient fable. The scene depicts two travelers caught in a perilous encounter with a fearsome bear. One traveler, wearing a turban, cleverly feigns death as the bear lunges towards him, while his companion seeks refuge high up in a nearby tree. The intricate details of this copperplate etching bring to life the intensity and danger of the situation. Howitt's skillful use of lines and shading captures every nuance of fear on the faces of both men and animals involved. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Aesop's timeless wisdom that cunning can sometimes be our best defense against adversity. The composition also highlights the beauty and majesty of nature surrounding these dramatic events. Towering trees frame the action, providing a stark contrast between human vulnerability and nature's power. This juxtaposition invites contemplation about our place within the natural world and our ability to navigate its challenges. Samuel Howitt's work is part of his larger collection entitled "A New Work of Animals" which draws inspiration from various fables by Greek authors such as Aesop. Published in 1811 by Edward Orme in London, this print continues to captivate viewers with its masterful storytelling through artistry.
