EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaines Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a timeless allegory. Titled "Wolf and the Peasants" this 19th-century-style print transports us to a world of fantasy and folklore. In black and white, it exudes an air of nostalgia and antiquity. The image depicts a dangerous encounter between a menacing wolf and unsuspecting peasants on their farm. The canine's piercing eyes evoke fear as it prowls near the fountain, its pawed mammal body ready for action. With intricate details created through woodcut techniques, every stroke tells a story. As we gaze upon this piece of art and craft, we are reminded of Jean de la Fontaine's renowned literary works that have stood the test of time. This illustration brings his words to life in vivid imagery. Gustave Dore's mastery shines through in this engraved image, capturing both the beauty and danger present in nature. The Victorian style adds an additional layer of elegance to the scene while transporting us back to an era long gone. This print is not just an antique relic; it represents our connection with history and literature. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change, certain themes remain constant throughout generations - tales of cautionary lessons learned from encounters with wild creatures like wolves. Duncan1890 has preserved this artwork beautifully at Fine Art Storehouse for all those who appreciate artistry rooted in past eras but still relevant today
