Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a strange publication. From what I can gather, Lady Cave developed a lifelong interest in ants. For this book, she did a series of illustrations of ant life, based ultimately on scholarly works on the life of ants but touched with her own imagination, fantasy, and humor. She then invited a number of figures of the day to write in comment upon the pictures. Throughout there is a good deal of play on the name of these creatures. Thus there are references to anthology, anti-climax, antediluvian, and more. The book touches upon the fable world when a little chapter of the life of ants is given over to GA (66-70). There are two fine pieces of colored art along with good comments and reflections by Cave and Sir Owen Seaman. I had particular fun besides with the poem The Marriage Flight (27). There are some stains on 87.
