EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Boar and the Ass" artist Percy J. Billingshurst brings to life one of Aesop's timeless fables from his collection, "A Hundred Fables of Aesop". Published in 1903, this intricate print showcases the artist's skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. The scene depicts a boar and an ass engaged in conversation, set against a picturesque backdrop. The boar, with its fierce expression and muscular physique, represents strength and power. In contrast, the humble ass stands beside it, embodying simplicity and humility. As we delve into the moral behind this fable, we are reminded that appearances can be deceiving. Despite their differences in size and stature, both animals engage in dialogue as equals - emphasizing that true wisdom lies not in physical attributes but rather within our minds. Through this enchanting artwork by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers are encouraged to reflect upon their own interactions with others. It serves as a reminder that intellect surpasses superficial judgments based on outward appearances alone. "The Boar and the Ass" invites us to embrace diversity while recognizing that every individual possesses unique qualities worth appreciating. This remarkable engraving continues to inspire audiences today by teaching valuable lessons about empathy, understanding, and celebrating differences among all living beings
