EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts Aesop (c. 620-564 BC), the ancient Greek fabulist, known for his timeless collection of fables. The image, an 1801 French engraving, captures Aesop in the prime of his age, surrounded by the animals that feature in his beloved stories. The animals, including a lion, deer, horse, sheep, bird, and elephant, are gathered around him as if in awe of the wisdom he imparts. Aesop, depicted as a man with a thoughtful expression and a palm leaf in hand, was a master storyteller who used animals as allegorical characters to teach moral lessons. His fables, which have been passed down through generations, continue to captivate audiences with their wit, wisdom, and enduring themes. This beautiful colored print, a testament to the enduring legacy of Aesop and his fables, is a treasure of antiquity and a reminder of the power of storytelling in shaping history and culture.
