EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Frontispiece illustration for A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" transports us into the enchanting world of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this print captures the essence of these beloved stories with its intricate details and vibrant colors. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a gathering of diverse wildlife animals. A majestic lion stands tall and regal, exuding authority as he presides over the assembly. Nearby, a proud peacock displays its magnificent plumage while a colorful cock and hen observe from their perch. Amidst the crowd, our attention is drawn to a cunning wolf and she-wolf lurking in the shadows, their eyes gleaming with mischief. Playful monkeys swing from tree branches above them while an ape peers curiously at his surroundings. These primates add an element of liveliness to the composition. The presence of other creatures such as macaques further enhances the richness and diversity depicted within this artwork. The artist skillfully portrays each animal's unique characteristics through meticulous attention to detail. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative inspired by La Fontaine's fables, we are reminded of the enduring power that storytelling holds across generations. This print serves as both an homage to French literature and a testament to art's ability to bring fantastical tales to life on canvas.
