EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a bygone era. The print showcases the timeless tale of "The Wolf and the Dog" in a retro revival style that transports us back to the 19th century. In this scene, we see a group of men herding a pack of animals through an antique landscape. Among them is a majestic purebred dog and a cunning wolf, both representing contrasting aspects of human nature. The intricate woodcut technique used to create this engraved image adds depth and texture to every line, making it truly remarkable. As we delve into this allegory painting, we are reminded of classic literature and fairy tales that have stood the test of time. The Victorian-style setting further enhances our journey into history's past while igniting our imagination with its fantasy elements. The black and white color palette evokes nostalgia as it brings out the details in each pawed mammal present in the composition. Every living organism depicted reminds us of their place within the natural world. With Jean de la Fontaine's words echoing in our minds and Gustave Dore's artistic prowess on display, this print serves as an exquisite piece for any art enthusiast seeking to embrace old-fashioned charm intertwined with literary greatness.
