The Fish and the Cormorant
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating fable from ancient La Fontaine's collection, dating back to circa 1668. This timeless tale unfolds the extraordinary friendship between an elderly cormorant and a fish. The image before you, taken from the historical archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, circa 1870, depicts the poignant moment of their unique bond. The elderly cormorant, once proud and agile, has lost his sight, leaving him unable to hunt effectively in the deep waters. Desperate and determined, he comes up with an ingenious plan to secure his survival. He tricks the unsuspecting fish into believing that he will carry the fish to a safer, shallower pond, where it will be protected from larger predators. The fish, trusting the cormorant's word, willingly lets itself be borne by the elderly bird to the promised land. Upon reaching the shallow pond, the cormorant reveals his true intentions. Instead of harming the fish, he uses his newfound location to his advantage, feeding himself on the abundant fish population. The fish, though initially deceived, comes to understand the cormorant's situation and accepts their new arrangement. This heartwarming fable teaches us the importance of empathy, understanding, and the power of friendship, even in the most unlikely of circumstances. The image of the elderly cormorant and the fish, captured in this print, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between these two creatures. As you gaze upon this historical print, you are transported back in time, immersing yourself in the rich history and mythology of this tale. The image, with its intricate details and beautiful fontaine, invites you to ponder the depth of the human condition and the power of storytelling.
