EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Dog and His Master's Dinner" is a visual representation of one of Jean de La Fontaine's beloved fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, the print showcases the artist's exceptional talent for bringing stories to life through his intricate illustrations. In this particular scene, we witness a faithful dog sitting patiently beside his master as he enjoys a sumptuous dinner. The dog gazes longingly at the mouthwatering feast before him, but remains obediently still, knowing that it is not his place to partake in such luxuries. This heartwarming image beautifully captures the loyalty and selflessness often associated with our four-legged companions. La Fontaine's fables have been cherished for centuries due to their timeless wisdom and moral lessons. Through anthropomorphic characters like this humble canine, he imparts valuable insights about human nature and societal values. The walking stick depicted in the artwork serves as a symbol of authority and control over both man and beast. As we admire this lithograph from yesteryears, let us be reminded of the power of storytelling to convey important messages that resonate across generations. Whether it be through words or artistry like Billinghurst's litho here, these tales continue to captivate our imaginations while imparting valuable life lessons along the way
