EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolitho print captures a captivating scene from Aesop's Fables: The Sick Lion, the Fox and the Wolf. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this illustration showcases the timeless appeal of anthropomorphism in literature. Set against a backdrop of European royalty and adorned with colorful crowns, it brings to life the fable's moral lessons. In this enchanting image, we see a sick lion seated on his majestic throne while seeking medical assistance from Asklepios, the Greek god of healing. The fox and wolf stand nearby, representing cunning and loyalty respectively. As they observe their king's ailment with concern, one can almost feel their empathy through their expressive bodies. The intricate details of this lithograph highlight both the beauty and complexity of 19th-century illustrations. With its rich colors and poetic atmosphere, it transports us back to a time when literary works were cherished for their ability to entertain while imparting wisdom. Through this artwork, we are reminded that illness is universal regardless of social status or power. It serves as a poignant reminder that even kings are not immune to maladies like flu or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This visual representation invites contemplation on themes such as health, medicine, and mortality. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this print continues to captivate audiences with its blend of artistry and storytelling prowess.
