EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Which Way did the Fox go?" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the talent of an English School artist. The print, now part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1832. The image exudes a sense of humor and wit that is characteristic of this era. A mischievous fox stands at a crossroads, seemingly contemplating which path to take. With its sly expression and alert posture, it captures the essence of these cunning creatures known for their cleverness in folklore. The intricate details achieved through engraving bring life to this comical scene. Every stroke adds depth and texture to both the fox's fur and its surroundings. It is fascinating how such simplicity in black and white can evoke such vivid imagery. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, we are reminded not only of the artistic skill involved but also of our timeless fascination with wildlife. This enchanting piece serves as a testament to humanity's enduring connection with nature. Bridgeman Images has preserved this gem from history for us all to appreciate today. Let us cherish this glimpse into the early 19th century – a time when humor met artistry on paper – as we ponder: Which way did that clever fox ultimately choose?
