EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1873, titled "AESOP: DOG & SHADOW. The Dog and the Shadow" we are transported into the world of one of Aesop's timeless fables. The illustration, created by an American artist during the late 19th century, beautifully captures a pivotal moment in this tale. The scene unfolds on a picturesque bridge that spans over a tranquil stream. At its center stands a loyal dog, carrying a piece of meat in his mouth. His eyes fixated on his own reflection shimmering in the water below - his shadow tempting him with another enticing morsel. This powerful image serves as a reminder of our innate human nature to desire more than what we have. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but reflect upon our own lives and contemplate how often we chase after illusions or become consumed by greed. Through its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this wood engraving breathes life into Aesop's moral lesson about vanity and self-deception. It invites us to ponder whether it is worth sacrificing what is real for mere shadows. Displayed proudly within any art collection or study space, this Granger Art on Demand print offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also intellectual stimulation through its connection to classic literature and timeless wisdom.
