The Fables of Aesop - The Peacock and the Crane
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print that transports us back to the 19th century, where literature and art intertwined to bring timeless stories to life. Created by Henry Louis Stephens and lithographed by Julius Bien, this illustration beautifully captures one of Aesop's famous fables. In this particular fable, we witness the graceful peacock standing tall next to a slender crane. Both birds are adorned with their distinctive feathers, but it is the vibrant plumage of the peacock that steals the show. With its iridescent colors shimmering in black and white, our attention is drawn towards its majestic presence. The contrasting characters of these two birds symbolize vanity and humility. As Aesop's tale goes, the proud peacock boasts about its beauty while mocking the plain appearance of other creatures around it. Meanwhile, the humble crane remains content with its simple elegance. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not only in outward appearances but also in inner qualities such as modesty and kindness. It teaches us valuable lessons about pride and humility through an enchanting visual narrative. As we gaze upon this exquisite lithograph print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported into a world where poetry meets artistry—a world where imagination intertwines with wisdom passed down through generations. This piece invites us to reflect on our own actions and reminds us that even amidst wildlife, there are profound lessons waiting to be learned
