EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century storytelling. The captivating scene depicts "The Cat Weasel and the Little Rabbit" a timeless allegory brought to life through intricate black and white artistry. In this mesmerizing artwork, we find ourselves immersed in a magical animal den where creatures both familiar and fantastical coexist. The cunning cat and mischievous weasel are on the hunt for their prey - a delicate little rabbit seeking refuge within an ancient fountain. As they navigate this whimsical landscape filled with history and nostalgia, we witness the convergence of literature, art, and nature. Gustave Dore's masterful woodcut technique captures every detail with precision, evoking a sense of awe as we explore this forgotten era. The print showcases his remarkable ability to breathe life into each living organism portrayed – from the sleek carnivores to the lagomorphs that grace our imagination. As we gaze upon this antique masterpiece, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time. It invites us to rediscover classic tales that have shaped our cultural heritage while immersing ourselves in the beauty of Victorian-style illustration. This retro revival transports us beyond mere aesthetics; it allows us to delve into an age-old narrative where animals become symbols of human virtues or vices. Duncan1890's print is not just an exquisite piece for collectors but also a gateway into another realm
