EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Fables of La Fontaine: The cunning fox" transports us into the enchanting world of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this print beautifully captures the essence of one such tale. In this particular illustration, we are introduced to a sly and cunning fox. With its piercing eyes and mischievous grin, the fox exudes an air of confidence as it navigates through a lush forest setting. Its sleek fur glistens under dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, adding depth and texture to the artwork. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate patterns on each leaf to the delicate shading that brings life to every blade of grass. This lithograph truly showcases Billinghurst's mastery in capturing both realism and whimsy simultaneously. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded not only of our childhood fascination with animal tales but also of their enduring wisdom. La Fontaine's fables have long served as moral lessons wrapped within engaging narratives, teaching us about human nature through animal characters. "The Cunning Fox" invites us to delve into these age-old stories once more – tales that continue to resonate with readers across generations. It serves as a visual reminder that even amidst a rapidly changing world, there will always be room for timeless literature and artistry like this remarkable lithograph by Percy James Billinghurst.
