EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Fox and the Frog" transports us back to the enchanting world of Aesop's fables. Created by Percy J. Billingshurst in 1903, this print is a timeless representation of moral lessons conveyed through anthropomorphic animals. In this particular scene, we witness a cunning fox engaging with a humble frog amidst lush surroundings. The intricate details captured by Billingshurst bring these characters to life as they interact within their natural habitat. The lion, bullrush, hedgehog, monkey, bull, ass, hare, rhinoceros - all subtly depicted in the background - add depth and richness to the narrative. Aesop's fables have long been cherished for their ability to teach valuable life lessons through storytelling. This print serves as a visual reminder that appearances can be deceiving and wisdom can come from unexpected sources.

"The Fox and the Frog" invites us into an imaginative realm where animals possess human-like qualities that mirror our own experiences and dilemmas. It reminds us of the enduring power of fables in shaping our understanding of morality while simultaneously showcasing Billingshurst's artistic talent in capturing both beauty and meaning within his engravings. As we admire this vintage masterpiece from A Hundred Fables of Aesop collection published over a century ago, let us appreciate its timelessness and
