EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le chartier embourbe - The Carter In The Mire" is a remarkable piece of artwork from the 17th century. Created by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899, it is part of the collection "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine". The scene depicted in this print showcases a chaotic moment on a muddy road in the French countryside. A frustrated cart driver finds himself stuck in the mire with his horse-drawn cart. His face contorted with anger and despair as he tries to free his vehicle from its predicament. The artist's attention to detail brings life to this fable-inspired illustration. Each stroke captures the intensity of emotion felt by both man and beast as they struggle against nature's forces. This engraving serves as a visual representation of human frustration and animal instinct. Through this artwork, Billinghurst skillfully conveys Jean de La Fontaine's moral lesson about pride and its consequences. It reminds us that arrogance can lead us into difficult situations where we must confront our own limitations. With its historical significance, intricate details, and powerful storytelling ability, this engraving stands as an exceptional example of artistry from centuries past. It invites viewers to reflect on timeless themes such as perseverance, humility, and the consequences of our actions.
