EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a forgotten era. The print titled "Mule that boasted of his family" takes us back to the 19th century with its retro revival style and antique charm. The engraved image, reminiscent of woodcut illustrations and paintings, showcases a farm worker mucking out a stable. In this allegory painting brought to life through meticulous detail, we witness a stable hand sweeping away the remnants of the day. The Victorian-style broom in hand adds an air of nostalgia as it glides across the floor. The black and white composition evokes a sense of history and transports us to a time long gone. The agricultural occupation depicted here reminds us of simpler times when horses were an integral part of daily life on farms. This particular mule boasts proudly about its esteemed lineage within the horse family, symbolizing human tendencies towards self-importance. As we gaze upon this artwork created in the 19th century, we are reminded not only of our past but also how far we have come. Duncan1890's print invites us to appreciate artistry and craftsmanship while immersing ourselves in scenes that once defined our world - where hard work met simplicity amidst picturesque barns and agricultural buildings.
