is a captivating lithograph print that transports viewers back to the 19th century, immersing them in the timeless world of Aesop's fables. Created by Henry Louis Stephens and beautifully lithographed by Julius Bien, this illustration captures a pivotal moment from one of Aesop's most beloved tales. In this scene, we witness the unlikely encounter between a sow and a wolf. Set against the backdrop of an idyllic countryside, with rolling hills and lush greenery, the image exudes tranquility. The sow stands tall and proud, her maternal instincts evident as she guards her young piglets with unwavering determination. Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows is the cunning wolf, his predatory nature barely concealed beneath his sleek exterior. This powerful visual narrative serves as a reminder of life's valuable lessons.

This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those seeking wisdom through literature. With its rich symbolism and masterful
