Since ancient times, rabbits have been used in many cultures around the world to represent many of mankind's ideals and foibles. Both clever and foolish, brave and cowardly, cute and frightening, sexual and pure.
This book explores the cultural, artistic and popular world of rabbits, and the often contradictory symbolism and mystique surrounding them. It includes many diverse images taken from Egyptian hieroglyphs and Roman coins, medieval tapestries, Renaissance watercolours, modern painting and sculpture, art deco posters, magazine covers, folk quilts, jewellery, and other decorative objects. A section on rabbits in the world of children examines how they have been represented in carousels, toys, classic stories and illustrations.
