EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by the renowned Gustave Doré, takes us back to the 19th century with its exquisite allegory painting. The image showcases a mesmerizing blend of art and craft, depicting various animals adorned with attributes and body parts that symbolize their unique characteristics. In this black and white masterpiece, we are transported to a world where an antique decorative urn serves as a majestic fountain. A tropical bird, resembling a peacock, gracefully perches atop the container while displaying its magnificent feathers. The woodcut-style engraving adds an air of nostalgia and evokes memories of times gone by. Jean de La Fontaine's literary genius comes alive through this engraved image created in the 19th century. It beautifully captures the essence of his fables that explore human nature through animal protagonists. This print is not just a piece of art but also a window into history, offering glimpses into Victorian style and reminding us of our connection to the natural world. Duncan1890 has masterfully revived this retro artwork for all to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel drawn into its intricate details and sense the echoes of past eras long forgotten. Let it transport you on a journey through time as you immerse yourself in this enchanting depiction crafted by Gustave Doré himself.
