EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Eagle and the Owl" artist Ernest Henry Griset brings to life a timeless fable from Aesop's collection. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases the remarkable talent of Griset in capturing both the majesty and wisdom of these iconic creatures. Set against a backdrop of intricate details, the eagle and owl stand as symbols of contrasting virtues. The eagle, with its fierce gaze and outstretched wings, represents strength, courage, and nobility. In contrast, perched on a branch above is the wise owl - known for its keen intellect and ability to see through darkness. As we delve into Aesop's Fables revised by J. B. Rundell in this particular edition from Cassell in 1890, we can imagine how this enchanting illustration would have brought these moral tales to life for readers at that time. With every stroke of his pen or etching tool, Griset masterfully conveys not only the physical attributes but also the character traits associated with each animal. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every minute detail within Griset's work - from the texture of feathers to the intensity in their eyes. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an essential medium for storytelling throughout history. "The Eagle and the Owl" invites viewers into an ancient world where animals teach us valuable lessons about life's complexities. As we admire this exquisite print today, let us reflect upon our own journey towards understanding
