EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and whimsical engraving titled "The Bear and Child" we are transported back to the year 1924, where artist Percy J. Billingshurst captures a heartwarming moment between two unlikely companions. The image is part of the collection called "A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals" which undoubtedly aimed to entertain and educate its viewers. With a touch of humor, the scene unfolds as a bear, towering over the child in size, extends its massive paw towards the little one's shoulder in what appears to be an act of rescue. The child's face radiates both surprise and delight, while their tiny arms wrap tightly around their newfound friend. This endearing anecdote reminds us that even in nature's most unexpected encounters, compassion knows no bounds. It speaks volumes about our innate desire for connection and protection – qualities that transcend species boundaries. Billingshurst skillfully captures not only the physical embrace but also manages to convey a deeper moral message through his artistry. Through this enchanting print, he encourages us all to look beyond appearances and stereotypes, reminding us that friendship can blossom from even the most unusual circumstances. "The Bear and Child" serves as a timeless reminder that love has no limits – it transcends differences in shape or form. This delightful engraving by Billingshurst continues to inspire laughter, warmth, and appreciation for life's extraordinary moments shared between humans and animals alike.
