EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Fables of La Fontaine: The Wallet" by Percy James Billinghurst takes us on a whimsical journey into the world of Jean de La Fontaine's fables. With intricate detail and masterful technique, Billinghurst brings to life one of La Fontaine's beloved stories. In this particular illustration, we are transported to a scene where animals take center stage. A mischievous monkey sits atop a tree branch, clutching a wallet in his hands. Surrounding him are various creatures - an owl perched on another branch, a curious rabbit peeking out from behind some foliage, and even a wise old tortoise observing the commotion. The artist skillfully captures the essence of each animal through their expressions and body language. The monkey exudes cunningness as he examines the contents of the wallet while other animals watch with anticipation or curiosity. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless appeal and moral lessons found within La Fontaine's fables. Each creature represents human traits or behaviors that teach us valuable lessons about life and society. Billinghurst's lithograph serves as both an homage to French literature and an invitation for viewers to delve into these enchanting tales once again. It is truly a treasure for any lover of art or storytelling alike.
