EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting engraving titled "The Ass, the Lion and the Cock" from the renowned collection of A Hundred Fables of Aesop, published in 1903. Created by Percy J. Billingshurst (1871-1933), this exquisite artwork is a testament to his exceptional talent as an artist. In this fable-inspired scene, we witness a thought-provoking encounter between three distinct animal characters: an ass, a lion, and a cockerel. Each creature symbolizes different traits and embodies various moral lessons that have captivated audiences for centuries. The powerful lion represents strength and leadership while the proud cockerel epitomizes courage and vigilance. Meanwhile, the humble ass signifies patience and endurance. Through their interactions within this artful composition, viewers are invited to reflect upon timeless morals such as unity in diversity or finding strength through collaboration. Billingshurst's masterful engraving technique brings these characters to life with intricate details that mesmerize any observer. The rich textures and delicate lines highlight every nuance of expression on each animal's face, allowing us to delve into their emotions and intentions. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are reminded once again of Aesop's enduring wisdom passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary creatures can teach us profound life lessons if only we take the time to observe them closely enough
