EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Fly and the Coach," dates back to 1772 and is a visual representation of the classic fable with the same name. The image depicts a historical carriage struggling to climb a steep slope, its horses laboring to gain traction on the incline. In the foreground, a tiny fly, assuming its presence is crucial, bites at the horses in an attempt to spur them on. However, the fly's actions are nothing more than an annoyance, hindering the progress of the carriage rather than helping it. The print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of transportation. The intricately detailed carriage, with its ornate design and elegant lines, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The steep slope, covered in a thick layer of snow, adds an element of challenge and adventure to the scene. The fable of "The Fly and the Coach" is a timeless tale that has been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest of creatures can believe they are more important than they actually are, and that their actions, though well-intentioned, may not always have the desired effect. The print, with its historical significance and moral message, is a must-have for any collection focused on myth, folklore, or the history of transportation. The print's rich details and intricate design make it a beautiful addition to any home or office, and its historical significance adds an air of sophistication and intrigue. Whether used as a conversation starter or a decorative piece, "The Fly and the Coach" is sure to captivate and inspire.
