EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "The Fables of Aesop: The Ass, the Lion, and the Cock" transports viewers to a world of ancient wisdom and enchanting storytelling. Created by Henry Louis Stephens in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a collection that beautifully illustrates Aesop's timeless fables. In this particular scene, we witness an intriguing encounter between an ass, a lion, and a cock. As the rooster stands atop a school building with its feathers proudly displayed, it imparts valuable lessons through its melodious crowing. Meanwhile, both the ass and lion attentively listen below as they absorb these teachings. Symbolizing various aspects of human nature and behavior, these animals come alive through Stephens' intricate lithography technique. The black-and-white composition adds depth to their characters while allowing us to focus on their expressions and interactions. Through this visual narrative inspired by Aesop's fable tradition, we are reminded of the power of literature in teaching moral values. This print serves as a testament to how stories can transcend time and continue to inspire generations with their enduring messages. Displayed within private collections worldwide today thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this lithograph invites us into an imaginative realm where animals become teachers and poetry becomes life's guidebook.
