Abstract

en_US
Eichenberg's engraving stands as frontispiece to this 24-page large-format booklet. It is significantly darker and harder to read than the accompanying print itself, enclosed in a separate folio. Neal's parable begins cleverly by introducing a formidable race that "loved Peace and spent an inordinate amount of time fighting to prove it." They had a "mad passion to exist without changing the Order of Things." The result was that they "roamed across the land in great droves uprooting and destroying Nature's finest creations." Just when we are sure that he has been talking about humankind, we learn that this race is pigs. The parable soon brings on an opposed but smaller race, majestic eagles. The pigs manage to destroy this race, partly by so overpopulating the earth that there is no place for an eagle to land. The last eagle dies a sad but noble death. Signed by the author and artist and numbered #275 of 500.
