EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fables of Aesop: The Wind and the Sun (litho) captures the essence of one of Aesop's timeless tales in a stunning lithograph by Henry Louis Stephens. This print, part of a private collection, brings to life the story of two powerful forces competing for supremacy. In this illustration for The Fables of Aesop, we witness the Wind and the Sun engaging in a friendly competition to determine who is stronger. As beams of sunlight pierce through fluffy clouds, casting a warm glow on the scene below, it becomes evident that nature itself is an active participant in this fable. The Wind, depicted as gusts blowing fiercely across the landscape, tries its best to remove a traveler's cloak with brute force. However, despite its mighty efforts, it fails miserably. On the other hand, we see the gentle rays of sunshine emanating from above gradually warming and soothing both man and environment. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that kindness and gentleness often triumph over aggression and forcefulness. It teaches us valuable lessons about human nature while showcasing Stephens' mastery at capturing emotions through his intricate lithography technique. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece with awe-inspiring details meticulously etched onto paper by Julius Bien's skilled hands, we are transported into an enchanting world where fables come alive before our very eyes.
