EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of an age-old tale - "The Old Cat and the Young Mouse". Created in 19th-century style, this print exudes a sense of nostalgia and transports us to a time when art was crafted with meticulous detail. In this allegory painting, we witness the encounter between two contrasting characters. The domestic cat, with its pawed mammal prowess, is depicted as an antique figure representing wisdom gained through experience. On the other hand, the young mouse symbolizes innocence and naivety in the face of danger. Dore's intricate woodcut technique brings life to this enchanting fairy tale scene. The artist masterfully portrays both animals' physical activity within a Victorian-style setting adorned with a fountain. As we gaze at this image created centuries ago, it reminds us of our connection to literature and history. Beyond its artistic value lies a deeper message about nature's balance and pest control equipment. This illustration serves as a reminder that even within the animal kingdom, there are lessons to be learned about survival instincts and coexistence. As we admire Duncan1890's print of "La Fontaines Fables - Old Cat and the Young Mouse" we are transported back in time to appreciate not only Gustave Dore's skill but also Jean de la Fontaine's timeless storytelling.
