Colour linocut, 1970. In the 1970’s Bawden made a
series of prints based on Aesop’s fables. The tortoise and the hare
each claim an ability to run fastest. They agree upon a race, but
mid-way through, convinced of his skills, the hare decides to rest – to
sleep by the roadside. The tortoise, aware of his own pace, decides to
run all the way without stopping; he overtakes the hare, and so wins the
race. The moral? Hard work is often better than skills taken for
granted.
