EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases an exquisite 19th-century colour lithograph of "Aesop's Fables: The Ass and the Lap-Dog". Created by the English School, this artwork is a true gem from a private collection. The image depicts a thought-provoking scene from one of Aesop's timeless fables. In this particular tale, an ass encounters a lap-dog living in luxury with its master. The contrast between their lives becomes apparent as the ass realizes that it would rather be free than confined to domestication. The intricate details and vivid colours of this lithograph bring the story to life, capturing every emotion and nuance within the characters' expressions. It serves as both an illustration for Aesop's Fables published by George Routledge around 1880 and a testament to the enduring power of storytelling. This piece exemplifies the artistic prowess of 19th-century illustrators who skillfully transformed poetry into visual narratives through lithography. The use of colours adds depth and richness to each stroke, enhancing our connection with these age-old stories. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the enchanting world created by Aesop's words and brought to life by talented artists centuries ago.
