EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Sheep's Clothing" is a delightful piece of mid-19th century artwork by Charles Henry Bennett. The print, now part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for the book "Shadow and Substance" by Bennett and Robert B Brough in 1860. The image showcases a humorous scene filled with caricatures and comic elements. It cleverly portrays various personalities disguised as sheep, highlighting the theme of deception. The play on light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the satirical nature of the drawing. In this artistic cartoon, we witness wolves cunningly hiding their true identities behind sheep's clothing. The comical depiction captures the essence of Victorian entertainment through its amusing portrayal of animals engaging in human-like behavior. Bennett's skillful use of satire creates an entertaining narrative that invites viewers to reflect on societal norms and individual personas. This scathing satire serves as a reminder to be wary of those who may appear harmless but possess ulterior motives. Overall, this satirical engraving offers both amusement and thought-provoking commentary on human nature. Its intricate details and witty execution make it a valuable addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone seeking lighthearted yet insightful visual storytelling from the past.
