EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lion in Love, a captivating illustration from Baby's Own Aesop, transports us into the enchanting world of Walter Crane's imagination. Engraved and printed by the talented Edmund Evans in London around 1920, this color lithograph captures the essence of a timeless morality tale. In this scene, we witness the lioness adorned in classical costume, weakened by her infatuation with Cupid. The once fierce and powerful queen of the jungle now finds herself emasculated by love's arrow. Her bow lies forgotten at her side as she gazes longingly at her mischievous captor. Crane's exquisite attention to detail brings every element to life - from the delicate folds of fabric on the lioness' gown to Cupid's mischievous expression. The vibrant colors add depth and richness to this children's illustration while conveying an important lesson about how our desires can sometimes lead us astray. The fable reminds us that even those who appear invincible can be vulnerable when their hearts are entangled in love’s web. It serves as a cautionary tale for both young and old alike – a gentle reminder that our very means may defeat our ends if we allow ourselves to be consumed by passion alone. This remarkable print is part of a private collection but continues to inspire generations with its profound message wrapped within its whimsical beauty.
