EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical engraving titled "Studying" we are transported back to the year 1924, where animals take center stage in a delightful anecdote. Created by Percy J. Billingshurst, an artist with a keen sense of humor, this print is part of his collection called "A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals". The scene unfolds with two mischievous magpies perched on a branch, engrossed in their studies. One magpie holds a trumpet while the other diligently reads from a book. It seems that these clever birds have discovered an unconventional way to enhance their learning experience. With its humorous undertones and playful composition, this artwork not only tickles our funny bone but also offers us a moral lesson: knowledge knows no bounds when it comes to determined creatures like these magpies. Billingshurst's depiction reminds us that even in unexpected places or through unusual means, education can be found and embraced. The juxtaposition of the scholarly setting against the comical use of musical instruments adds an element of surprise and joy to the overall narrative. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us into imaginative worlds where animals possess wit and wisdom beyond our expectations. Let this charming engraving serve as a reminder that there is always room for laughter and curiosity in our pursuit of knowledge.
