The rabbits stand atop a box inscribed \u003cstrong\u003e“Perry Bros., Dowlish Wake,”\u003c\/strong\u003e referring to one of Lawrence’s favorite cider farms, where cider was traditionally made and sold by the gallon from enormous oak barrels.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apples are advertised at \u003cstrong\u003e“10d. per bushel,”\u003c\/strong\u003e using the old British currency notation for ten pence. Another inscription, \u003cstrong\u003e“Sweet Coppin,”\u003c\/strong\u003e carries a double meaning. Sweet Coppin is a traditional variety of cider apple, but it is also the name of a women’s clog-dancing team that frequently performed alongside Lawrence’s Morris Men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerched alongside the rabbits is a \u003cstrong\u003ekingfisher\u003c\/strong\u003e, a bird native to the \u003cstrong\u003eSomerset Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e, the distinctive wetland landscape of the part of England where Lawrence lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe humor continues inside the box with a traditional English meal of \u003cstrong\u003efish and chips\u003c\/strong\u003e. Lawrence drew inspiration from the old wartime song \u003cem\u003eRun Rabbit Run\u003c\/em\u003e, in which the rabbit is encouraged to escape the farmer and his intended fate as rabbit pie. Lawrence gives the story his own ending: forget the rabbit pie and have fish and chips instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with so many of his carvings, Lawrence tucked in details identifying both the artist and the piece’s place in his body of work. \u003cstrong\u003eThe mouse holds Lawrence’s signature acorn\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Perry Brothers\u003c\/em\u003e was the \u003cstrong\u003e119th piece David Lawrence carved for Harmony Kingdom\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced as a \u003cstrong\u003eFixed Edition of 2,500\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Perry Brothers\u003c\/em\u003e was made in England and measures approximately \u003cstrong\u003e2 inches high × 1.5 inches wide × 3.25 inches long\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the Harmony Kingdom Archives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example comes directly from the former Harmony Kingdom Archives inventory dispersed at auction in August 2026 and was acquired by AtopTheTables from Archive Lot HK55.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of 2 examples of TJDLRA documented in the Archive inventory acquired by AtopTheTables.
