EDITORS COMMENTS
Fun Among Feathers" is a delightful and humorous collection of colorful cartoon illustrations by the talented British artist, G.H. Dodd, dated back to 1910. This print showcases a lively scene filled with poultry, an ostrich, a leopard, and ducks. In the foreground, a hen clucks confidently over her nest, while a cockerel looks on, quipping, "What are you sitting on that nest for? They took away the eggs this morning!" The hen, with a mischievous glint in her eye, retorts, "I'm hatching plots!" Nearby, a duck, named Mrs. Quack, fans herself with a feather fan and complains, "Phew, isn't it hot? If this weather continues, I'm afraid we shall all be laying hard-boiled eggs." In the background, an ostrich, with a muffled voice, declares, "Ready!" as if preparing for a game of hide-and-seek in the desert. A leopard, seemingly out of place in this scene, looks on curiously, perhaps intrigued by the commotion among the birds. Dodd's masterful use of color and whimsical humor brings these feathered friends to life, transporting us to a simpler time. As we laugh at the antics of the cockerel and the hen, we can't help but be charmed by their playful banter. This charming print is a delightful addition to any art collection and a testament to Dodd's artistic talent.
