EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Monkey and the Leopard" takes us back to a bygone era of fables and moral lessons. Published in 1905 as part of Fontaine Fables, this print by Percy J. Billingshurst is a true work of art. In this scene, we find ourselves at a bustling fairground, where an eager crowd has gathered around an intriguing spectacle. Onlookers are captivated by the sight before them - a monkey and a leopard chained together within a cage. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as children and adults alike eagerly await the unfolding events. This image not only captures our attention visually but also invites us to reflect on deeper meanings. It reminds us of ancient myths and fables that often carried profound morals for their readers or listeners. Perhaps there is more to this seemingly simple tale than meets the eye. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we can't help but wonder about the story behind it all. What lesson does it hold? Is it about unity or survival? Or maybe it teaches us about appearances being deceiving? "The Monkey and the Leopard" sparks our imagination while simultaneously transporting us back to childhood memories of reading children's stories filled with whimsy and magic. It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an invitation to explore timeless tales that have shaped generations past.
