EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Cormorant and The Fishes," dates back to 1761 and is an illustration of a popular mythological fable. In this tale, the cunning cormorant, with its distinctive black plumage and long, webbed feet, approaches a school of unsuspecting fish. With a cleverly spun narrative, the cormorant assures the fish that he intends to ferry them to safety from the perils of the open water. Believing his words, the fish willingly swim into the bird's open beak. However, once ensnared, the cormorant reveals his true intentions and begins to savour his catch at his leisure. This historical print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of folklore and mythology that has shaped our collective imagination. The image, created by an unknown artist during the 18th century, is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the timeless appeal of fables. The cormorant, with its deceptive charm, serves as a reminder of the importance of trust and the potential consequences of gullibility. This print, which is part of the Dodsley Collection, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or folklore. Its intricate details and vivid colors bring the story to life, transporting us back in time to an era when such tales were shared around the fire, passed down through generations, and used to teach valuable lessons. The print measures 11 x 8 inches and is an excellent conversation starter for anyone with an interest in history, mythology, or the natural world.
