EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "The tick and the fly (Le coche et la mouche) - Fables by La Fontaine" is a true masterpiece that brings to life one of Jean de La Fontaine's famous fables. Created by the talented artist Grandville, this print showcases his exceptional attention to detail and imaginative interpretation. In this enchanting scene, we witness a whimsical encounter between a tick and a fly on an intricately designed carriage. The meticulous engravings beautifully depict every element of the story, from the delicate wings of the fly to the tiny legs of the tick. As they sit atop their peculiar vehicle, it becomes evident that these two insects are embarking on an extraordinary journey. The composition exudes both elegance and humor as it captures their animated conversation amidst a backdrop reminiscent of 19th-century France. The skillful use of shading and line work adds depth and texture to each character, making them come alive within this fantastical world. "The tick and the fly" serves as a testament to not only La Fontaine's timeless storytelling but also Grandville's ability to translate words into visual artistry. This remarkable piece invites viewers into its narrative realm where imagination knows no bounds.
