EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the timeless tale of Juno and the Peacock from Aesop's Fables, as illustrated in Caxton's 1484 edition. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the mythological story of Juno, the goddess known for her beauty and regal presence, who transformed a humble bird into the magnificent peacock we know today.
The peacock, with its iridescent feathers and proud demeanor, symbolizes vanity and pride in this classic fable. Meanwhile, perched nearby is a small but melodious nightingale, contrasting with the grandeur of the peacock. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not in outward appearances but in inner qualities such as humility and grace.
As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we are transported back to ancient times when myths and legends were used to impart moral lessons. Through Aesop's timeless stories, we learn valuable truths about human nature and behavior that still resonate today.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly preserved this piece of artistry for us to admire centuries later. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with mythology, history, and storytelling. Let us continue to be inspired by these age-old tales that have stood the test of time.
