EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lobster and her Daughter, from Fontaine Fables, pub. 1905 (engraving) captures a whimsical scene straight out of a children's storybook. In this enchanting print by Percy J. Billingshurst, we are transported to an underwater world where myth and morality intertwine. A proud mother lobster stands tall amidst the swirling seaweed, her delicate claws gently cradling her precious daughter. The intricate engravings bring every detail to life - from the intricate patterns on their shells to the shimmering scales of nearby fish. This image is not just about marine creatures; it speaks volumes about love, protection, and the bond between parent and child. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but imagine the fable that inspired it - perhaps a tale warning against greed or teaching us about empathy and compassion. The Lobster and her Daughter invites us into a realm where animals possess human-like qualities and stories unfold in mysterious ways. It reminds us of our own childhood when bedtime tales sparked our imagination and taught valuable lessons. Billingshurst's skillful engraving technique brings depth to each stroke of his pen, creating an enduring piece that continues to captivate viewers over a century later. This print serves as a timeless reminder that art has the power to transport us beyond reality into realms filled with wonderment.
