EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from 1811, titled "Two spaniels barking at a bulldog with a bell on its collar" by Samuel Howitt, transports us to a moment of mischief and intrigue. The scene depicts two lively spaniels engaged in an animated confrontation with a stoic bulldog adorned with a jingling bell around its neck. This delightful illustration is inspired by one of Aesop's fables, adding depth and meaning to the artwork. Howitt's copperplate etching showcases his remarkable talent for capturing the essence of animals through intricate detail and lifelike representation. The dogs' expressions are filled with energy and determination, while the bulldog exudes an air of quiet confidence amidst their clamor. The presence of the bell on the bulldog's collar adds an element of curiosity to this already engaging composition. It hints at hidden symbolism within Aesop's fable or perhaps serves as a reminder that even seemingly unassuming creatures can possess unexpected qualities. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the rich literary tradition that surrounds us. Howitt masterfully combines artistry and storytelling in this print, inviting us into a world where animals become characters in tales that teach valuable lessons. Through his work, Howitt invites us to reflect on our own interactions with others and consider how appearances can be deceiving. This print captures not only the beauty but also the complexity found within nature – reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye.
