EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Fox and the Tiger" artist Ernest Henry Griset brings to life a timeless fable from Aesop's collection. The scene depicts a cunning fox standing face-to-face with a majestic tiger, creating an intriguing juxtaposition of two powerful creatures. Griset's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving, as he masterfully captures the essence of both animals. The fox exudes slyness and intelligence, its eyes gleaming with mischief as it engages in a battle of wits with the formidable tiger. On the other hand, the tiger emanates strength and dominance, its muscular body poised for action. This artwork serves as an illustration for Aesop's Fables revised by J. B. Rundell in 1890, adding depth to one of literature's most beloved moral tales. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported into a world where animals possess human-like qualities and teach valuable lessons through their actions. "The Fox and the Tiger" reminds us that appearances can be deceiving; even though the tiger may seem invincible at first glance, it is ultimately outwitted by the clever fox. This fable teaches us about using our wit and intelligence to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. With its rich history and enduring message, this enchanting engraving continues to captivate audiences today. It serves as a testament to Griset's artistic talent while reminding us of the timeless wisdom found within Aes
