EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the timeless tale of "The Hare and the Tortoise," one of Aesop's most famous fables. Aesop, an ancient Greek storyteller and philosopher, is believed to have lived between 620 and 560 BC. He is renowned for his collection of fables, which have been passed down through the centuries, imparting valuable moral lessons through engaging animal stories. In this particular fable, the hare, known for his speed and arrogance, boasts about his ability to outrun the tortoise. The tortoise, who is slow but steady, challenges the hare to a race. Confident of his victory, the hare takes a nap mid-race, assuming he will easily make up for lost time. However, the tortoise plods along steadily and eventually crosses the finish line, teaching us the moral that "slow and steady wins the race." This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Aesop's fables and their enduring impact on storytelling and moral education. The illustration showcases the hare, with a smug expression, lying down for a nap, while the tortoise, with a determined look, moves steadily towards the finish line. The fox, a common companion of Aesop's tales, is shown in the background, observing the scene with a thoughtful expression. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office, but also a reminder of the wisdom and timelessness of Aesop's fables. The moral of "The Hare and the Tortoise" continues to resonate with us today, encouraging us to persevere, remain focused, and never underestimate the power of determination and hard work.
