EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Battle of the frog and the mouse" takes us back to a fable-filled world in 1665. Created by renowned print makers Dirk Stoop and John Ogilby, this artwork brings to life an epic clash between two unlikely adversaries - frogs and mice. The battlefield is set, with both armies fiercely engaged in combat. The fearless frogs ride into battle on the backs of lobsters, showcasing their resourcefulness and determination. However, they are not alone in their struggle against the mice; a cunning fox joins forces with them as they face off against their rodent foes. In this chaotic scene, predatory birds like hawks circle above, eyeing potential targets for their next meal. The illustration skillfully captures the intensity of the conflict as each side fights for survival. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout this masterpiece. From every stroke of ink that depicts the intricate armor worn by these tiny warriors to the expressions of fear or bravery etched onto their faces – it all adds depth and emotion to this timeless tale. Through this print, we are reminded of Aesop's fables which teach valuable lessons through animal characters. As we gaze upon this historic image created centuries ago by Dirk Stoop and John Ogilby, we can't help but be absorbed into its narrative – a story that continues to resonate even today.
