EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Satyr and the Traveller" artist Ernest Henry Griset brings to life a scene from Aesop's Fables. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the incredible talent and attention to detail that Griset possessed. The image depicts a meeting between two contrasting characters - the satyr and the traveller. The satyr, known for its mischievous nature and half-human, half-animal appearance, stands tall with an air of mystery surrounding him. On the other hand, the traveller exudes caution as he cautiously approaches this mythical creature. Griset's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while highlighting every intricate line in his engravings. The viewer is drawn into this enchanting world where reality merges seamlessly with fantasy. This particular illustration was created for J. B Rundell's revised edition of Aesop's Fables, published around 1890. It serves as a visual representation of one of Aesop's timeless tales that teaches valuable lessons through storytelling. "The Satyr and the Traveller" reminds us that even in our own journeys through life, we may encounter wonderful or monstrous characters along the way. This print invites us to reflect on how we navigate these encounters with grace and wisdom. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art history by digitizing it for future generations to appreciate its beauty and significance.
