EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" illustrated by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899. Titled "Les deux mulets - The Two Mules" it depicts a scene from the first book and fourth fable of this renowned collection. The artwork, created by Billinghurst himself, beautifully captures the essence of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless poetry. In this enchanting image, two proud mules are seen on a journey through the French countryside. They carry a large crate on their backs, symbolizing the burdens we often bear in life. With intricate details and delicate lines, Billinghurst brings these animals to life and transports us into the world of La Fontaine's fables. The black and white aesthetic adds depth to the composition while evoking a sense of nostalgia for classical art forms.

It serves as a testament to both La Fontaine's literary genius and Billinghurst's artistic prowess.
