EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration dates back to 1912, depicting the timeless fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. One of Aesop's most famous tales, this myth has been passed down through generations, imparting valuable lessons about perseverance and overcoming arrogance. The Hare, known for his speed and cockiness, often underestimated his slower counterpart, the Tortoise. In this rendition, the Hare, with a smug expression and a confident stride, leaves the Tortoise far behind as he sets out on a race. The Tortoise, however, remains steadfast and determined, plodding along at his own pace. Despite the Hare's frequent stops to rest and nap, the Tortoise never gives up. In the end, the Hare's overconfidence leads him to take a long nap, allowing the Tortoise to cross the finish line first. The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race, a lesson that continues to resonate with people today. This beautiful print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, captures the essence of the fable perfectly. The illustrator's skillful use of shading and perspective adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a captivating work of art. The print's age only adds to its charm, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of folklore and the wisdom it imparts. This print is a testament to the timeless nature of the Tortoise and the Hare story and is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for history, myth, and the art of storytelling.
