EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print captures a timeless fable from the French fabulist Jean de La Fontaine, "The Fox and the Crow." The scene depicts the cunning fox looking up at the crow perched high above, holding a piece of cheese in its beak. This classic tale teaches us about flattery and deception, as the sly fox tries to trick the naive crow into dropping its prize.
Printed in Hungary in 1915, this postcard is not just a beautiful piece of art but also a reminder of the enduring power of literature to convey moral lessons through storytelling. La Fontaine's fables have been cherished for centuries for their wisdom and wit, making them beloved by readers young and old alike.
The vibrant colors and detailed depiction of these animal characters bring this age-old story to life, inviting viewers to reflect on human nature and our own vulnerabilities to manipulation. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that appearances can be deceiving and that it is important to always think critically and not fall prey to flattery.
This postcard serves as a visual representation of one of La Fontaine's most famous works, showcasing his talent for blending entertainment with moral instruction. It stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of literature in shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
