Anthropomorphism is the art of giving human characteristics to animals, a concept beautifully depicted in various illustrations and engravings throughout history. 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. The scene is filled with reverence and awe. 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. This depiction by JJ Granville and signed by Godard captures the essence of suspense and intrigue. The enchanting world of fables comes alive through engravings like "The two roasters (Les deux coqs)" from La Fontaine's collection. These timeless stories teach valuable lessons while showcasing animals as characters with distinct personalities. Jean de La Fontaine's fable "The Wolf and the Nanny-Goat" is brought to life through an exquisite engraving dating back to 1838-40. 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. " The contrast between these two insects' attitudes towards work and leisure is vividly portrayed, inviting reflection on human behavior. Intriguingly titled "Tout ce beau monde growls, growls, jappe, screams, roars. . " this illustration from a children's book showcases various animal sounds captured in vibrant drawings by G. H. Thompson for J. Jacquin's book published in 1885. It invites readers into an imaginative world where animals express themselves just like humans do. In yet another whimsical scene titled "Monsieur Hippos calecon could hardly be used for an aphid, " Monsieur Hippo finds himself facing an amusing predicament that highlights his unique characteristics. This delightful illustration captures the humor and charm of anthropomorphism.
