EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Fables of La Fontaine: The wolf and the fox" transports us into the enchanting world of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this print captures a pivotal moment from one of A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine. In this particular scene, we witness a cunning fox engaging in a conversation with an imposing wolf. As the story goes, the sly fox attempts to manipulate the powerful predator by appealing to his vanity and ego. With meticulous attention to detail, Billinghurst masterfully brings these characters to life on paper. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to each animal's fur, highlighting their distinct personalities. The intensity in their eyes reveals both caution and curiosity as they engage in this intriguing exchange. This lithograph not only showcases Billinghurst's artistic prowess but also pays homage to La Fontaine's enduring literary legacy. Through his fables, La Fontaine imparts valuable moral lessons disguised within charming tales featuring anthropomorphic animals. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded that wisdom can often be found where we least expect it – even within the pages of ancient stories passed down through generations.
