EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of an enchanting allegory. Titled "The Lion Ape and the Two Asses" this print takes us back to a bygone era of artistry and storytelling. In this mesmerizing image created in the 19th century, we are transported into a world where animals come alive with human-like qualities. The lion, symbolizing power and majesty, stands tall alongside an ape and two asses. Each character represents distinct traits that mirror our own human nature. Gustave Dore's intricate detailing brings life to every stroke of his engraved image. From the flowing mane of the lion to the expressive faces of each creature, his artistic prowess shines through. This illustration is a testament to Dore's mastery in capturing both realism and fantasy within one frame. As we gaze upon this antique print, nostalgia washes over us like water from a fountain. It reminds us of simpler times when literature was filled with moral lessons woven into captivating tales. Jean de la Fontaine's fables continue to resonate with readers even today. This piece serves as a reminder that art has no expiration date; it transcends time and remains relevant across generations.
