EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the enchanting tale of "Two Parrots: Monarch and his Son". The 19th-century style print showcases an allegory painting that transports us to a world of animals and fantasy. In this black and white engraved image, we witness the intricate details of these tropical birds as they come to life on paper. The artistry in this piece is reminiscent of a bygone era, evoking nostalgia for the past. It takes us back to a time when literature and illustrations were intricately intertwined, creating timeless masterpieces. Jean de la Fontaine's fable unfolds before our eyes through Gustave Dore's skilled hand. As we gaze upon this antique print, we are captivated by the regal presence of the parrots. The monarch bird stands tall with authority while its young son looks up in admiration. This royal duo represents not only their species but also symbolizes power and lineage. The Victorian-style woodcut adds depth to the composition, enhancing its historical significance. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within books and prints like these - treasures that have stood the test of time. Duncan1890 has preserved this exquisite piece from obscurity, allowing us to appreciate its beauty once again. As we admire this retro revival print, it serves as a reminder that art transcends generations and continues to inspire awe even centuries later.
