EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a timeless allegory. In this 19th-century style print titled "The Fox Flies and the Hedgehog" we are transported into a world where animals come to life with human-like qualities. Set against a black and white backdrop, the intricate woodcut depicts a cunning fox attempting to outsmart its prey - flies buzzing around an enchanting fountain. The fox's eyes gleam with mischief as it strategizes its next move while the hedgehog stands confidently, ready to defend itself against any threat. Gustave Dore's masterful illustration skillfully brings together elements of fantasy and reality. The delicate details in each animal's fur and expression evoke nostalgia for a bygone era when storytelling was cherished. As we gaze upon this image created in the 19th century, we are reminded of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fable that teaches us about wit, resilience, and adaptability. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, these lessons remain relevant. This print is not just an antique piece; it represents artistry at its finest. Its Victorian style transports us back to an era when craftsmanship was highly valued. With every stroke of Gustave Dore's hand-engraved lines, this artwork becomes more than just an image – it becomes a window into another time. Whether you appreciate literature or simply admire nature’s wonders captured on paper
