EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an engraving from "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" illustrated by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899. The engraving depicts a scene from the fable "Les animaux malades de la plague - The Animals Sick of the Plague" which is found in Collection 2, Book 7, fable 2. In this thought-provoking artwork, we see various animals gathered together, each representing different characters and personalities. A boar, wolf, lion, bear, tiger, fox, donkey, and monkey are all depicted with expressions of illness or distress on their faces. The fable explores themes of disease and its impact on society through the lens of animal characters. It serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of neglecting one's health and disregarding the well-being of others. The intricate details in this black-and-white engraving highlight both the skillful artistry of Percy J. Billinghurst and the timeless nature of Jean de La Fontaine's literary works. The composition draws viewers into a world where animals mirror human behavior and emotions. Through this evocative image captured by Stefano Bianchetti for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded that even centuries-old stories can still resonate with contemporary audiences. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to provoke reflection on universal themes such as health and compassion for others during times of crisis.
