EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of "Le lion et le rat - The Lion and the Mouse" from Fables by Jean de La Fontaine. Created by Gustave Dore, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this timeless fable. In this scene, we see a majestic lion with a tawny mane standing in all his regal glory. Beside him sits a tiny mouse, seemingly insignificant compared to the mighty beast. Yet, as the story goes, it is this very mouse who will prove her worth. The image exudes a sense of power and vulnerability simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that strength does not always lie in physical size alone but can also be found in unexpected places. Through its intricate details and expertly crafted lines, this engraving brings to life La Fontaine's moral tale about kindness and gratitude. It reminds us that even the mightiest among us may one day need help from those we perceive as lesser beings. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, let us reflect on our own interactions with others. May it inspire us to treat everyone with respect and compassion, for you never know when someone small may hold within them great potential for good deeds.
