EDITORS COMMENTS
The English Fox, illustration from La Fontaine's Fable by Jean de La Fontaine, captures the essence of anthropomorphism in 19th-century literature. Created by Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard) in the years 1838-40, this engraving showcases the remarkable talent and imagination of the artist. In this scene, we see a clever fox dressed in traditional English attire, complete with a top hat and cane. The fox stands upright on his hind legs, exuding an air of sophistication and intelligence. His eyes gleam with mischief as he gazes into the distance. The intricate details of this print bring to life La Fontaine's fable about cunning and wit. The fox symbolizes shrewdness and adaptability while embodying human-like qualities that make him relatable to readers across centuries. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also reflects deeper themes such as economics and savings. It reminds us that even in literature filled with animals acting like humans, there are valuable lessons to be learned about financial prudence. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece from Fine Art Finder for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
