EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Canine Smugglers" by Percy James Billinghurst takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into a fascinating anecdote of animal behavior. The print showcases several animals, led by a clever dog, engaging in an illicit activity under the cover of night. Set against the backdrop of the Netherlands' picturesque landscape, this artwork captures the essence of nature's hidden secrets. The artist masterfully portrays each creature with intricate detail and lifelike expressions, bringing them to life on paper. The central figure is undoubtedly the canine smuggler himself, cunningly navigating through his surroundings with a walking stick in hand. His companions follow closely behind him as they embark on their nocturnal adventure. This whimsical scene not only highlights the intelligence and resourcefulness of these creatures but also invites viewers to ponder upon their complex social dynamics. Billinghurst's work was originally commissioned for "A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals" published in 1901. With its charming illustrations and captivating narratives, this book aimed to entertain and educate readers about various aspects of wildlife. As we admire this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, it serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary moments lies extraordinary tales waiting to be discovered.
