EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical print titled "Of Two Evils Choosing the Least" we are transported to a world where animals possess cunning and wit. Published in 1924, this engraving by Percy J. Billingshurst is part of his collection called "A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals". The scene unfolds with two mischievous dogs standing beside a basket filled with freshly baked pies. One dog wears an elaborate disguise, complete with a hat and glasses, while the other looks on eagerly. It seems they have hatched a plan to steal these delectable treats without getting caught. With their eyes fixed on the prize, these clever canines embody the age-old moral dilemma of choosing between two evils – in this case, stealing pies or facing punishment for their actions. Billingshurst's humorous depiction captures our imagination as we ponder what mischief lies ahead for these furry protagonists. The artist's attention to detail brings life to each character; from the mischievous glint in their eyes to the intricate patterns on the stolen pies. This delightful artwork reminds us that even animals can find themselves faced with difficult choices and must sometimes resort to unconventional methods to satisfy their desires. So next time you're torn between two options, remember these resourceful dogs who chose the least evil path – all for a taste of pie!
