EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1903, artist Percy J. Billingshurst brings to life the timeless fable of "The Wolf, the Lamb and the Goat" from Aesop's collection. The scene depicts a serene countryside setting with rolling hills and lush greenery, where three animals - a wolf, a lamb, and a goat - stand together. As we delve into the moral lesson behind this fable, we are reminded of the cunning nature of the wolf. Despite its predatory instincts, it stands peacefully alongside its potential prey. This juxtaposition serves as an allegory for human interactions and power dynamics in society. The innocent lamb symbolizes vulnerability while representing those who may be easily manipulated or taken advantage of by others. On the other hand, the wise old goat embodies experience and wisdom that can protect against such manipulation. Through this artwork, Billingshurst invites us to reflect on our own lives and relationships. It prompts us to consider how power imbalances can shape our interactions with others and reminds us of our responsibility to protect those who may be more vulnerable than ourselves. "The Wolf, the Lamb and the Goat" is not just an enchanting visual representation but also serves as a powerful reminder that strength should always be tempered with compassion towards others less fortunate than ourselves.
