EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from the Introduction to Aesop's Fables, created in 1666 by Francis Barlow. The intricate engraving transports us into a world of nature and animals, where fables come alive. In this scene, we witness a diverse cast of characters from the animal kingdom: a mischievous monkey swings playfully from tree branches while a majestic peacock displays its vibrant feathers. A nimble squirrel scurries across the ground as a regal horse gallops gracefully nearby. Observing them all is a powerful lion, exuding strength and authority. The composition also includes other creatures such as bulls, stags, donkeys, camels, antelopes, goats, cows, weasels, snakes, frogs, hedgehogs - each representing different aspects of life and human behavior. Amidst this wilderness stands man himself - depicted as rotund and hunchbacked - symbolizing our flaws and imperfections within this vast animal realm. Accompanying the visual spectacle are verses of text that convey moral lessons through didactic storytelling. This allegorical approach invites viewers to reflect upon their own lives and actions. With its timeless charm and rich symbolism rooted in ancient folklore traditions attributed to Aesop himself; this remarkable artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and an educational tool for those seeking wisdom through tales passed down through generations.
