EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The tunny and the dolphin" takes us back to the 19th century, where English School artists skillfully brought Aesop's Fables to life. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases an intriguing moment from one of these timeless tales. In this particular fable, we witness a meeting between two iconic marine creatures - the tunny and the dolphin. As we delve into Aesop's narrative, we are reminded of his ability to impart wisdom through animal characters. These stories have been passed down for centuries and continue to resonate with audiences today. The artist behind this engraving has meticulously captured the essence of both creatures. With every stroke, they bring out the gracefulness of the dolphin juxtaposed against the strength and determination of the tunny. It is as if they have frozen this fleeting encounter in time for us to marvel at. Through its digitally cleaned image, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and connect us with narratives that have shaped our collective imagination. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, let us be inspired by Aesop's fables once again – their moral teachings reminding us that even in nature's realm, there are lessons waiting to be learned if we pay attention.
