EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Fables of La Fontaine: The hornets and the bees" transports us into the enchanting world of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this print is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling. In this particular illustration, we witness a fascinating encounter between two rival factions - the hornets and the bees. As we delve deeper into their intricate world, we are reminded of how animals can teach us valuable lessons about life. La Fontaine's fable explores themes of unity and cooperation as it unravels an age-old conflict between these buzzing creatures. Through his words, he imparts wisdom on how division only weakens both parties involved while emphasizing that strength lies in harmony. Billinghurst masterfully captures this pivotal moment with meticulous detail and vibrant colors. Each insect seems to come alive on paper, inviting viewers to immerse themselves fully in this whimsical narrative. As we gaze upon this lithograph, let us reflect on our own lives and relationships. Are there conflicts that could be resolved through understanding and collaboration? Like the hornets and bees depicted here, may we find inspiration in unity rather than division – for it is together that we truly thrive.
