EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Fox and the Stork" from A Hundred Fables of Aesop, published in 1903. The engraving, created by Percy J. Billingshurst (1871-1933), is part of The Stapleton Collection and is now out of copyright. In this enchanting scene, we witness a fascinating moral tale come to life through art. The image features a bottle, long neck vase, and bowl as props that symbolize the story's essence. Two animals take center stage - a cunning fox and an elegant stork. As we delve into the fable's narrative, it becomes evident that there are deeper lessons at play here. It explores themes such as trustworthiness and empathy among creatures with contrasting characteristics. The composition beautifully captures the moment when these two characters engage in drinking from their respective vessels - highlighting their distinct physical attributes. While the fox effortlessly sips from its container with ease using its short snout, the stork faces a challenge due to its long beak. Through this visual representation, viewers are encouraged to reflect on how our differences can impact our interactions with others. It reminds us to consider alternative perspectives and adapt our behavior accordingly. Bridgeman Images has impeccably preserved this timeless artwork for all to appreciate. As we gaze upon this stunning print, let us embrace the wisdom contained within Aesop's fables and strive for understanding amidst diversity in our own lives.
