EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print titled "A Jackdaw and borrowed feathers, 1930s" captures the essence of a beloved fable brought to life. Created in the 1930s by Charles Robinson, a renowned English artist, this colourful lithograph showcases his exceptional talent for storytelling through art. The image depicts a mischievous jackdaw perched upon an enchanting tree branch adorned with an array of borrowed feathers. With its beady eyes gleaming mischievously, the jackdaw proudly flaunts its newfound plumage, unaware of the consequences that may follow. Drawing inspiration from fairy tales and legends, Robinson's artwork invites viewers into a world where animals possess human-like qualities and teach valuable moral lessons. This particular scene alludes to Aesop's fable about the jackdaw who tries to imitate other birds but ultimately faces ridicule when his true identity is revealed. The vivid colours used in this lithograph bring depth and vibrancy to every feather adorning the jackdaw's body. The intricate details capture each individual strand with precision while maintaining an overall sense of playfulness. As part of The Big Book of Fables published by Blackie & Son Limited in the 1930s, this print serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with folklore and timeless stories that continue to captivate both young and old alike.
