EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Wolf Turned Shepherd" is a mesmerizing piece of art that captures the essence of Jean de La Fontaine's fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this illustration, we are transported into the world of La Fontaine's imagination. The scene depicts a cunning wolf disguised as a shepherd, surrounded by a flock of unsuspecting sheep. With an air of confidence and slyness, the wolf skillfully carries out his deceitful act. Billinghurst masterfully portrays the contrasting emotions within this image. The innocent sheep blissfully graze on lush green grass while remaining oblivious to their true shepherd's identity. Meanwhile, the wolf exudes an aura of calculated deception as he maintains control over his flock. "The Wolf Turned Shepherd" serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and highlights one of La Fontaine's timeless moral lessons – trust not those who hide behind false facades. This lithograph beautifully encapsulates both the charm and complexity found in French literature through its vivid depiction of animals personified with human characteristics. It invites viewers to delve into these enchanting fables and explore the profound wisdom they hold within their pages.
