"La Fontaine Jean de: A Tale of Pottery, Fabric, and Fables" Step into the world of La Fontaine Jean de, a renowned French poet whose legacy transcends time. Born in 1621 in Château-Thierry, France, he left an indelible mark on literature with his enchanting fables that continue to captivate readers today. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the exquisite craftsmanship of Creil Pottery's Plate from Montereau dating back to 1800. This masterpiece showcases the delicate artistry that adorned many tables during its era. Moving forward to c. 1830, Bapaume et Cocatrix presents us with "Fables of La Fontaine" Furnishing Fabric from Rouen. The intricate patterns woven into this fabric tell stories within themselves, bringing these timeless tales to life in homes across France. Munster takes us back even further to c. 1810 with their "Eight Fables of La Fontaine" Furnishing Fabric. Each thread meticulously sewn together reveals scenes from some of La Fontaine's most beloved fables - a true testament to the enduring power of storytelling. Hartmann et Fils transports us to c. 1815 with their "Fables of Fontaine" Furnishing Fabric from France. The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations pay homage to La Fontaine's imaginative narratives while adding a touch of elegance and charm to any interior space. Amongst his vast collection is "Le roi, le milan et le chasseur, " published in 1759 - a tale that teaches valuable lessons about power and deceit through the interactions between a king, a kite, and a hunter. Another notable work is "L'homme et la puce, " published in 1756 by Benoit-Louis Prevost. This witty fable humorously explores human nature through an encounter between man and flea, reminding us of the folly that lies within us all.
