The Ass and the Lap-Dog
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic fable from ancient Greek mythology, retold in various forms throughout history. This print, published by Dodsley in 1761, showcases the timeless tale of an ass and a lap-dog vying for their master's affection. In this fable, an ass, envious of the lap-dog's close relationship with its master, decides to imitate the dog's behavior in hopes of winning the same level of affection. The ass adopts the dog's posture, barks, and even tries to follow the master around the house. However, the ass's attempts are clumsy and obvious, and the master remains unimpressed. The moral of the story is that genuine affection cannot be forced or imitated. The ass's efforts to win the master's love through imitation only highlights its true nature as an ass. The lap-dog, on the other hand, remains beloved for its authentic and natural behavior. This historical print, with its intricate details and elegant design, beautifully captures the essence of the fable. The ass, depicted with its long ears and expressive eyes, and the lap-dog, with its fluffy fur and regal posture, are both rendered with remarkable detail and charm. The print's muted colors and ornate border add to its antique appeal, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical art or fables. Whether used as a conversation piece, a decorative accent, or a reminder of the importance of authenticity, "The Ass and the Lap-Dog" is a captivating and timeless work of art that continues to delight and inspire. This print is a testament to the enduring power of fables to teach valuable lessons and capture the imagination, making it a must-have for anyone interested in history, mythology, or the art of storytelling.
