EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite color lithograph of "Aesop's Fables: The Goose and the Golden Eggs" by English School, dating back to the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Aesop's timeless fable. The image depicts a majestic goose standing proudly amidst a lush farm landscape. Its feathers shimmer with golden hues, symbolizing the precious eggs it produces. This enchanting illustration was originally created for George Routledge's edition of Aesop's Fables around 1880. A testament to the power of storytelling, this fable teaches us about greed and its consequences. The story revolves around a farmer who discovers that his goose lays golden eggs each day. Consumed by greed, he decides to take all the eggs at once but finds nothing inside when he cuts open the bird. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, this lithograph brings Aesop's moral tale to life. It serves as a reminder that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in appreciating what we already have. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from our past, allowing us to delve into centuries-old stories through visual artistry. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us reflect on the wisdom imparted by Aesop and appreciate both its artistic beauty and enduring message.
