1761 Blind Carries Delicious Dodsley Fable Fables Lame Profit Walk Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Fable of the Blind Man and the Lame," is an engraving from the 18th century, created by the renowned English engraver and printmaker, William Dodsley. The image is based on the classic fable of the same name, which is believed to have originated from ancient Greece or India. The fable tells the story of two men - one blind and the other lame. The blind man, unable to see the delicious fruit hanging from a tree, relies on the lame man to carry him to it. In return, the lame man, who cannot walk, is carried to a place of enjoyment and rest. Both men profit from their unique partnership, illustrating the moral that every individual has something valuable to offer, and that cooperation and understanding can lead to mutual benefits. This historical print, created in 1761, is a testament to the enduring power of fables as a means of conveying timeless wisdom. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured fabric of the men's clothing to the delicate leaves of the tree, showcase Dodsley's exceptional skill as an engraver. The print's antique charm and the profound message it carries make it a treasure for collectors of historical art and folklore. The Fable of the Blind Man and the Lame is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reminder of the importance of empathy, cooperation, and the unique abilities each person brings to the world. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in history, folklore, or the power of storytelling.
