EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for "The Fox and the Stork" from the renowned Fables by Jean de La Fontaine. Created in the 19th or 20th century, this colour engraving by John Edwin Noble beautifully captures the essence of this classic tale. In this scene, we witness a fox and a stork engaging in a meal together. The image portrays an elegant urn, symbolizing hospitality and refinement, as they both enjoy their respective drinks. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that there is more to this story than meets the eye. The fable tells us about flattery and deceit. The cunning fox has chosen to serve his guest with liquid poured into an amphora-like vase that only allows him to lick its contents with great difficulty due to his snout's shape. Meanwhile, the stork effortlessly sips her drink from her long beak without any trouble at all. This enchanting illustration not only captivates our eyes but also serves as a reminder of timeless moral lessons found within Aesop's tales. It invites us to reflect on themes such as deception, fairness, and reciprocity while appreciating the intricate details crafted by Noble's skilled hand. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this remarkable piece continues to inspire viewers with its artistic brilliance and thought-provoking narrative.
