EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of 19th-century style with its retro charm and animal themes. The image showcases an English Fox in all its antique glory, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. The woodcut illustration transports us back to a time when allegory paintings were revered and blood sports were still prevalent. This print not only serves as a reminder of our history but also raises questions about animal welfare and the ethics surrounding such activities. In this scene, we see the red fox accompanied by a wild dog, both engaged in what appears to be fox hunting - an ancient animal sport that has long been obsolete. The Victorian-style composition exudes fantasy and old-fashioned elegance while depicting the natural world in black and white. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the intricate relationship between humans and animals throughout history. It prompts contemplation on how our perception of wildlife has evolved over time, highlighting both their beauty and vulnerability. With every detail meticulously crafted by Gustave Dore's skilled hand, this print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a window into the past – inviting us to reflect on our connection with nature and ponder upon the lessons embedded within Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables.
