The Fables of Aesop - The Fox and the Stork
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Henry Louis Stephens that beautifully brings to life one of Aesop's timeless tales. In this enchanting print, we are transported into the world of fables, where animals take on human qualities and teach us valuable lessons. The illustration depicts the cunning fox and graceful stork engaged in a clever exchange. As the story goes, the fox invites the stork for dinner but serves soup in shallow bowls, making it impossible for her long beak to reach. However, when it is the stork's turn to host, she serves him food in a tall jar with a narrow neck – leaving him unable to enjoy his meal. Stephens' meticulous attention to detail shines through in this black-and-white lithograph. The intricate lines and shading bring depth and texture to each character, capturing their distinct personalities. From the mischievous glint in the fox's eye to the elegant posture of the stork, every element tells its own part of this delightful tale. This artwork not only showcases Stephens' artistic skill but also reminds us of Aesop's enduring wisdom. Through these fables passed down through generations, we learn about morality, empathy, and consequences. "The Fables of Aesop: The Fox and The Stork" serves as a visual reminder that appearances can be deceiving and teaches us to treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves. As we gaze
