EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of The Wolf and the Stork, a classic fable by La Fontaine, beautifully illustrated by Grandville in 1860. In this scene, the stork is depicted as a doctor receiving the wrong rewards for his dedication and service. The intricate details of Grandville's engraving bring to life the moral lesson of this timeless tale.
The contrast between the cunning wolf and the noble stork is striking, as they navigate through themes of betrayal and recompense. The anthropomorphic portrayal of these animals adds depth to their characters, making them relatable to readers of all ages.
As we gaze upon this black and white illustration, we are transported back to 17th century France, where poetry and literature flourished under La Fontaine's pen. The delicate lines and expressive faces in Grandville's artwork evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
This print serves as a reminder that true devotion should be met with just rewards, highlighting the importance of integrity and fairness in our interactions with others. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and artistry that continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
