EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures a captivating scene titled "Weasel in the Granary". Set in a 19th-century style agricultural building, this allegory painting transports us to a world where animals take center stage. The print showcases Dore's mastery of detail and his ability to bring animal themes to life. The image takes us back in time, evoking nostalgia for an era long past. It reminds us of the beauty found in old-fashioned art and craft. As we gaze upon this fine art painting, we are transported to a place of work - the granary - where history comes alive through engraved images. In this woodcut masterpiece, Jean de la Fontaine's literary genius shines through as he tells the tale of a weasel infiltrating the granary. This pawed mammal represents both pest and predator as it seeks its next meal amidst bags of grain. The rat scurrying nearby adds another layer of tension to the scene. Gustave Dore's Victorian style brings depth and emotion to every stroke on this print. Through his exquisite attention to detail, he captures not only the physical characteristics but also the essence of each creature depicted. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder that even though times may change, nature remains constant. This print is more than just an antique; it is an enduring testament to our fascination with wildlife and our desire for artistic expression throughout history
