EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, transports us to the enchanting world of 19th-century art and literature. The image captures a moment from "The Ass and the Little Dog" one of La Fontaine's timeless allegorical tales. In this black and white engraved print, we see a scene filled with nostalgia and history. A musician, reminiscent of medieval minstrels, serenades an audience gathered around a beautiful fountain in a quaint village square. The musician skillfully plays his panpipe while using his voice to captivate the listeners with traditional music. The print exudes old-fashioned charm as it showcases intricate details that were characteristic of Victorian-style illustrations. The woodcut technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when folk music was cherished entertainment. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling through both visual art and written word. This exquisite print is not only an ode to Jean de la Fontaine's literary genius but also pays homage to Gustave Dore's mastery in bringing these fables to life through his illustrations. It is truly a treasure for any lover of fine art or those seeking glimpses into our rich cultural heritage.
