EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Jupiter's Bird Admonishing an Assembly of Animals" transports us to a world where animals gather under the watchful eye of an eagle. Created in 1811 by Samuel Howitt, this artwork brings to life a fable by English poet John Gay. In the center of the composition stands a majestic bald eagle, symbolizing Jupiter's bird. With its wings spread wide and eyes fixed on the assembly below, it assumes a position of authority and wisdom. Surrounding the eagle are four diverse animals: a lion, fox, greyhound, and rooster. Each animal represents different characteristics and traits. The lion embodies strength and power; the fox signifies cunningness and slyness; the greyhound exemplifies speed and agility; while the rooster symbolizes courage and vigilance. The scene captures a moment of communication between these creatures as they listen attentively to Jupiter's bird. It is as if they have gathered here seeking guidance or perhaps receiving admonishment for their actions. Samuel Howitt skillfully renders each animal with intricate detail, showcasing his talent as both an artist and observer of nature. This etching is part of Howitt's larger work titled "A New Work of Animals" which draws inspiration from various fables by Aesop, Gay, Phaedrus, among others. Through this print, we are reminded of our connection with wildlife animals and how ancient stories continue to resonate across centuries.
