In one such illustration titled "Les jeunes lionceaux recoivent la benediction du roi lion, " we witness young lion cubs receiving the blessing of their majestic king.

Another intriguing image portrays a tiger entering the stage, dagger in hand, from the part entitled "Le premier feuilleton de Pistolet" written by Jules Janin.

The enchanting world of fables comes alive through engravings like "The two roasters (Les deux coqs)" from La Fontaine's collection.

It depicts a tense encounter between these two creatures, highlighting their emotions and expressions. Similarly, another engraving illustrates La Fontaine's fable "The Cicada and the Ant.

Thompson for J. Jacquin's book published in 1885. It invites readers into an imaginative world where animals express themselves just like humans do.
