EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1887 print, titled "The Hare and The Tortoise and The Frogs," is an enchanting retelling of the classic Aesop's fable, "The Tortoise and The Hare." The image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the timeless tale of patience and perseverance, as the slow and steady tortoise outwits the overconfident hare. The scene unfolds in a lush, natural setting, with the hare, in a burst of arrogant confidence, taking a nap mid-race, assuming his victory to be a certainty. The tortoise, steadily plodding along, takes advantage of the hare's momentary lapse and passes him, ultimately crossing the finish line first. In the foreground, a group of frogs, intrigued by the spectacle, gather around to observe the outcome of the race. The frogs, symbolizing the audience, serve as a reminder that the moral of the story applies not just to the characters in the fable, but to all of us. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, transports us back to a time when such fables were a popular means of imparting wisdom and life lessons. The Hare and The Tortoise and The Frogs is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a reminder of the importance of staying focused, persistent, and humble in the face of adversity. The print, created in 1887, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Aesop's fables and their relevance in shaping moral values and character development. This piece is a must-have for collectors of historical prints, folklore enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to add a touch of timeless wisdom to their home or office decor.
