EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hare and the Tortoise, Circa 1880 This print dates back to the late 19th century, featuring the iconic characters from Aesop's classic fable, The Hare and the Tortoise. The image beautifully captures the moment of rest and respite for the two animals, showcasing their contrasting natures. The hare, a symbol of pride and overconfidence, is depicted in a state of deep sleep, oblivious to the world around him. His languid body is spread out across the grass, with one leg tucked under him and his ears twitching slightly, indicating a dream. The hare's self-assuredness and carefree nature are evident in his relaxed pose. In stark contrast, the tortoise, a symbol of perseverance and determination, is seen carefully and deliberately curled up, with his arms and legs tucked in close to his body. His eyes are closed, and his expression is one of peaceful slumber. Despite his slow and steady pace, the tortoise's unwavering focus and determination have allowed him to outlast the hare in the famous race, making this moment a well-deserved respite. This print, with its intricate details and beautiful use of color, is a testament to the timeless appeal of Aesop's fables. The story of The Hare and the Tortoise continues to captivate audiences of all ages, reminding us of the importance of perseverance and humility. This print is not only a charming addition to any decor, but also a thought-provoking reminder of the power of determination and the dangers of complacency.
