EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "The Fables of Aesop: The Crow and the Pitcher" transports us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and timeless storytelling. Created by Henry Louis Stephens and lithographed by Julius Bien, this artwork is part of a private collection. The illustration depicts one of Aesop's famous fables, "The Crow and the Pitcher". In this tale, a clever crow finds itself thirsty but unable to reach the water at the bottom of a pitcher. With determination and resourcefulness, it drops pebbles into the pitcher until the water level rises enough for it to quench its thirst. Through this beautifully rendered black-and-white lithograph, we witness an amphora or jug serving as both obstacle and solution in nature's narrative.

"The Fables of Aesop" has long been cherished for its moral teachings wrapped in poetic verses. It reminds us that wisdom can be found in unexpected places and that perseverance often leads to triumph. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of our own journeys through life's challenges – seeking knowledge, overcoming obstacles, and finding inspiration along the way. With its rich symbolism and artistic mastery, this lithograph invites us to delve into literature's vast realm where stories come alive through illustrations like
