EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a 19th-century engraving titled "The dog with the cut ears (Le chien a qui on a coupe les oreilles)" by Grandville. The image showcases the intricate details of this remarkable artwork, which is part of the Fables collection by La Fontaine. In this thought-provoking scene, we see a dog gazing into a mirror, its expression filled with curiosity and perhaps even sadness. The artist skillfully portrays the consequences of human actions through the depiction of the dog's cropped ears, symbolizing mutilation. This powerful visual commentary invites us to reflect upon our treatment of animals and raises questions about compassion and empathy. The composition is masterfully executed, with every line meticulously engraved to convey texture and depth. Through his artistry, Grandville transports us to an era where literature intertwines seamlessly with visual storytelling. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Jean Duvallon's exceptional work in capturing such an important piece from French literary history. It serves as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in sparking conversations about societal issues and provoking introspection. As we admire this timeless masterpiece, let us remember that it continues to resonate today as an enduring testament to both artistic brilliance and social consciousness.
