The Cock and the Jewel - A Parable of True Worth
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour lithograph, titled "The Cock and the Jewel" brings to life one of Aesop's timeless fables. Created by John Edwin Noble in 1910, this print beautifully illustrates a moment from the story as it appeared in an edition of Aesop's Fables edited by Edric Vredenburg. In this enchanting scene, we witness a proud rooster standing atop a wooden fence, gazing intently at a shimmering jewel nestled among blades of grass. The intricate details and vibrant colors capture our attention, drawing us into the world of fables. Aesop's parable tells us that once upon a time, a cockerel discovered a precious gem hidden beneath some straw. Ignorant about its true value, he dismissed it as worthless compared to his own magnificent feathers. In his arrogance, he cast aside the jewel for something more visually appealing. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that true worth lies beyond superficial beauty. It encourages us to reflect on our own lives and question whether we sometimes overlook valuable opportunities or relationships due to their external appearance. Through its visual storytelling, this print invites viewers to delve deeper into the meaning behind Aesop's fable – reminding us all that there is often more than meets the eye when it comes to understanding life's messages.
