EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a timeless tale - The Town Rat and the Country Rat. In this 19th-century style print, we are transported to a rustic setting where animals feed amidst an atmosphere of nostalgia and charm. The image showcases a harvest mouse indulging in its meal while embodying the animal themes prevalent throughout literature. With its antique appeal and obsolete woodcut technique, this engraved image takes us back to a bygone era when illustrations were painstakingly crafted with intricate detail. As we delve into this allegory painting, we witness the contrast between urban and rural life through the eyes of these rodents. The Victorian-style illustration evokes a sense of history and fantasy as it portrays their dining experience using only their mouths. Amidst fields adorned with wheat plants, cereal attributes become integral elements in depicting animal behavior. This black-and-white depiction highlights the natural world's beauty while emphasizing the small yet significant role played by creatures like mice and rats. Gustave Dore's masterful brushstrokes bring Jean de la Fontaine's fable to life in this print. It invites viewers to explore not just an artwork but also an entire era steeped in old-fashioned elegance. With wildlife at its core, this enchanting piece reminds us of our connection to nature even within bustling cityscapes
