Description

2000? Cloth presentation of Edward Bawden’s “Aesop’s Fables: The Hare and the Tortoise.” Created from Bawden’s color linocut, published by Curwen Prints. Cloth from the Royal Academy of Arts. 28” x 18”. Unknown source.
This lovely piece has brought some answers and then more questions. I was surprised to find that it is done from a famous, rare, expensive linocut by Bawden. I am surprised that this cloth is 18” x 28”, whereas Bawden’s original was 18” x 22”. One question has not been answered. What kind of cloth is this? Dishcloth? Hanging? Are we meant to begin from the lower left to follow the back-and-forth route? The hare moves from energy to sleep, while the tortoise does not change much along the way. At the end he awaits the hare. Well done!
