EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Doré, captures the essence of the allegorical tale "The Two Goats" in a mesmerizing 19th-century style. In this print, we are transported to a world where animals come alive with human emotions and actions. The image depicts two majestic goats standing on opposite sides of a ravine, their hooves firmly planted on rocky terrain. With heads held high and eyes locked in determination, they prepare for an epic battle of butting horns. The intricate woodcut technique used by Gustave Doré adds depth and texture to every line, enhancing the sense of nostalgia that emanates from this old-fashioned masterpiece. As we delve into this enchanting scene, it becomes clear that beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a profound message about pride and compromise. Through these hoofed mammals' struggle to cross the divide between them lies an allegory for our own human conflicts - reminding us that sometimes it is better to find common ground rather than engage in futile battles. Duncan1890's print serves as a captivating reminder of the power literature holds over generations past and present. It invites us to explore Jean de la Fontaine's timeless tales while immersing ourselves in the rich history of artistry during the Victorian era. Whether displayed as part of an antique collection or cherished individually, this exquisite piece transports us back in time while igniting our imagination with its whimsical depiction of wildlife intertwined with moral lessons.
