EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of 19th-century agricultural life in a mesmerizing allegory painting. The print titled "Shephard and the King" takes us back to a time when art and craft were intricately intertwined with storytelling. In this black and white engraved image, we are transported into a fairy tale world where animals come alive with human-like qualities. A flock of sheep peacefully grazes near an enchanting fountain while a group of diverse creatures gather around their herder. The shepherd, symbolizing simplicity and humility, stands tall amidst his loyal companions. The intricate details of Gustave Dore's woodcut bring to life the nostalgia associated with obsolete times gone by. This print evokes feelings of longing for the past as it beautifully depicts the natural world in all its Victorian splendor. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear Jean de la Fontaine's timeless words echoing through history. It reminds us that literature has always been deeply rooted in our connection to nature and our understanding of ourselves as living organisms within it. With its retro revival style and antique charm, this print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a window into another era. It serves as a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there is beauty to be found in simplicity and wisdom to be gained from stories passed down through generations.
