EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The lioness and the fox" we are transported into the world of Aesop's Fables. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a private collection that brings to life one of Aesop's timeless stories. The image depicts a powerful lioness standing tall beside a cunning fox, symbolizing two contrasting characters brought together by fate. As we delve deeper into the story, we discover that these animals represent more than just their physical attributes; they embody human qualities and virtues. This enchanting illustration was originally featured in Bliss Sands' edition of Aesop's Fables published in 1897. Through meticulous digital cleaning, Look and Learn has revived this artwork for us to appreciate its intricate details once again. Aesop's Fables have been treasured for centuries as moral tales passed down through generations. They teach us valuable lessons about wisdom, courage, and wit through animal allegories like this one. The juxtaposition between strength and cunningness portrayed here invites viewers to reflect on their own character traits and how they navigate life's challenges. Bridgeman Images presents us with an opportunity to admire not only the artistic skill behind this engraving but also the enduring power of storytelling. This print serves as a visual reminder that fables continue to captivate our imagination while imparting age-old wisdom upon those who engage with them.
