EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical print captures a moment of anthropomorphic humor from the 1920s, as an amazed cockerel and hen gaze in astonishment at three eggs that have hatched into a cat, dog, and rabbit. The artist, Frederick Lewin, has created a charming scene that blurs the lines between human and animal characteristics.
In this delightful image, we see the surprise and confusion on the faces of the feathered parents as they witness this unexpected turn of events. The cat looks mischievous, the dog appears friendly, and the rabbit seems curious – all adding to the playful nature of this imaginative composition.
The attention to detail in Lewin's work is evident in every aspect of this piece – from the intricate feathers on the birds to the expressive eyes of each newly hatched creature. It is clear that he had a keen eye for capturing personality and emotion in his subjects.
As viewers, we are invited to suspend our disbelief and enter into a world where anything is possible. This print serves as a reminder of the joy that can be found in embracing creativity and imagination. It is sure to bring smiles to all who encounter it, just as it did when it was first created nearly a century ago.
