EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Two Cocks (Human Version of Animal Fable): Two Men Fight Over a Woman; The Victor's Arrogance in His Triumph Leads Finally to His Defeat," is a thought-provoking depiction of an age-old tale that transcends time and culture. The image, circa 1870, is a humanized version of Jean de La Fontaine's classic fable "Le Coq et l'Ane," or "The Cock and the Ass," which originally featured two animals locked in a contest of vanity and pride. In this rendition, however, the characters are transformed into men, embodying the timeless human nature of jealousy, arrogance, and the destructive consequences of triumph. The scene unfolds as two men, dressed in the fashion of the late 19th century, engage in a heated fight over a woman, who stands between them, her expression one of disdain and detachment. The victor, triumphant in his victory, struts around with an air of superiority, his chest puffed out and his gaze full of contempt for the defeated man. However, this arrogance does not go unnoticed by the woman, who looks on with scorn and disdain. The victor's arrogance ultimately leads to his downfall, as the woman, tired of his arrogance and pride, turns her affections towards the defeated man. The victor, blinded by his own arrogance, fails to see the error of his ways and continues to taunt and belittle his former opponent. In the end, the victor's arrogance proves to be his undoing, as the woman leaves him for the man he once defeated. This historical print, with its intricate details and rich colors, serves as a visual reminder of the dangers of arrogance and the fleeting nature of victory. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or fables, and is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the timeless lessons it imparts.
