EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Fables of La Fontaine: The lion going to war" transports us into the enchanting world of French literature. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this print captures a pivotal moment from Jean de La Fontaine's renowned collection of fables. In this scene, we witness the majestic lion preparing for battle. With a regal mane and an imposing stature, he exudes strength and determination. Surrounding him are various animals, each with their own unique expressions reflecting both fear and admiration for their leader. La Fontaine's fable explores themes of power, leadership, and the consequences of arrogance. Through his masterful storytelling abilities, he imparts valuable life lessons using anthropomorphic animal characters as his vessels. The intricate details in this lithograph bring these characters to life; every stroke showcases Billinghurst's artistic prowess. From the texture on the lion's fur to the subtle shading that adds depth to each figure, it is evident that great care was taken in its creation. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, we are reminded not only of La Fontaine's timeless tales but also of the enduring power of art itself. It serves as a testament to how stories can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences through different mediums such as lithography. This stunning piece invites us to delve deeper into La Fontaine's world – a realm where animals teach us invaluable lessons about humanity while simultaneously reminding us of our connection with nature
