EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Fables of La Fontaine: The dog whose ears were cropped" takes us on a journey into the enchanting world of Jean de La Fontaine's fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in the early 20th century, this artwork beautifully captures one of La Fontaine's timeless tales. In this particular illustration, we witness a poignant moment from A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine. The image depicts a dog with cropped ears, symbolizing the consequences of vanity and conformity. As we delve deeper into the story behind this canine companion, we are reminded of the moral lessons embedded within these beloved fables. The lithograph showcases exquisite attention to detail as it transports us to an era where storytelling was cherished and revered. With its intricate lines and delicate shading techniques, every stroke seems to breathe life into each character portrayed. Accompanied by a walking stick that adds an air of sophistication and mystery to the scene, this print invites viewers to explore not only La Fontaine's narratives but also French literature as a whole. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and language barriers while evoking emotions that resonate across generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, let us be reminded of the power stories hold in shaping our understanding of morality and human nature – just like those penned by Jean de La Fontaine centuries ago.
