EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "L Ane et le petit chien - The Asset and the Little Dog" is a stunning piece of artwork from the collection "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine". Created by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of French literature and poetry. In this scene, we see a donkey walking along a road with a little dog by its side. The engraving portrays a moment filled with curiosity and perhaps even jealousy as the donkey gazes at the dog's book. It symbolizes human emotions that transcend language barriers. The intricate details in this artwork showcase Billinghurst's talent as an engraver during the late 19th century. Every stroke brings life to each character, from the feathers on birds flying overhead to the texture of fur on both animals. As we admire this print, we are transported back to France in the 17th century when Jean de La Fontaine first penned his fables. This particular fable explores themes of envy and desire for what others possess—a timeless lesson that still resonates today. Stefano Bianchetti has masterfully captured every nuance of Billinghurst's work through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire us centuries later.
