EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fox and the Turkeys - A Timeless Tale of Caution This image, hailing from the late 19th century, depicts a classic scene from Jean de La Fontaine's famous fable, "The Fox and the Turkeys." The fable, originally penned in the 17th century, has been passed down through generations as a cautionary tale of the perils of complacency and the cunning nature of foxes. In this print, we see a group of turkeys perched precariously in a tree, their eyes wide with fear and anxiety. They have managed to outwit the cunning fox, who lies in wait below, plotting his next move. However, their victory is short-lived as they are unable to find peace in their arboreal refuge. The moon casts an ethereal glow over the scene, highlighting the tension and unease that pervades the night. The historical significance of this fable is evident in its enduring popularity. It has been interpreted and retold countless times throughout history, with various artists and illustrators bringing their unique perspectives to the tale. This particular print, from circa 1870, is a testament to the timeless nature of the story and the power of visual storytelling. Despite the turkeys' momentary triumph, they eventually succumb to the fox's tricks and contrivances, falling to the ground below. This unfortunate outcome serves as a reminder to be ever vigilant and to never let our guard down, even when we believe we have outsmarted our adversaries. The fable of the Fox and the Turkeys continues to resonate with audiences today, offering valuable lessons in strategy, caution, and the importance of staying alert in the face of danger.
