EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical engraving titled "A Calculating Crow" artist Percy J. Billingshurst takes us on a delightful journey into the world of animals and their mischievous antics. Published in 1924 as part of his collection "A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals" this print captures the essence of humor and wit. The scene unfolds with a clever crow perched atop a fence, surrounded by an assortment of chickens and chicks. With its beady eyes fixed on the group, it seems to be deep in thought, perhaps plotting some cunning scheme or solving a complex puzzle only known to crows. As we gaze at this enchanting image, we are reminded that intelligence can manifest itself in unexpected ways across different species. The calculating nature of the crow juxtaposed against the innocence and vulnerability of the hens and chicks adds depth to this amusing anecdote. Billingshurst's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details, from each feather on the birds' bodies to every blade of grass beneath them. The composition is filled with charm and warmth, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this animal kingdom. "A Calculating Crow" not only entertains but also imparts a subtle moral lesson about embracing our unique qualities while appreciating others'. It serves as a gentle reminder that even amidst life's challenges, there is always room for laughter and lightheartedness – just like these delightful creatures captured forever within Billingshurst's masterpiece.
