EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a timeless tale - "The Little Fish and the Fisherman". Created in the 19th century style, this black and white engraved image showcases Dore's exceptional artistry and attention to detail. In this allegory painting, we see a fisherman standing on his fishing boat, equipped with all the necessary tools for his outdoor pursuit. With a fishing rod in hand and a line cast into the river, he patiently waits for his catch. The scene exudes nostalgia as it takes us back to an era when such activities were considered both recreational and essential for survival. Jean de la Fontaine's fable tells the story of a little fish who outwits a fisherman using its wit rather than strength. This print beautifully captures that moment of anticipation before the little fish makes its move. The Victorian-style woodcut adds an element of charm to this antique artwork. It transports us back in time when modes of transport like nautical vessels were common sights along riversides. With its fine craftsmanship and historical significance, this print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also serves as a window into our past. It evokes feelings of admiration for traditional techniques while reminding us how certain pursuits have evolved over time. Duncan1890 has masterfully preserved this piece from history through their meticulous curation at Fine Art Storehouse.
