EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Hare and the Tortoise" transports us into the timeless world of Aesop's Fables. Created by Ernest Henry Griset in 1890, this print captures a pivotal moment in the beloved story. In this scene, we witness the stark contrast between two unlikely competitors - the swift hare and the slow tortoise. The hare, with its confident stance and eager expression, exudes overconfidence as it gazes at its seemingly feeble opponent. On the other hand, the tortoise embodies determination and unwavering focus as it steadily moves forward towards victory. Griset's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From each strand of fur on the animals' bodies to their expressive eyes filled with anticipation, he brings these characters to life before our very eyes. "The Hare and the Tortoise" serves as a poignant reminder that success does not always come from natural talent alone but rather through perseverance and dedication. It teaches us that even those who appear weaker or slower can achieve greatness if they remain steadfast on their path. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, let us reflect on our own journeys towards success. May it inspire us to embrace patience, resilience, and an unwavering belief in ourselves – just like that determined tortoise who ultimately triumphed over arrogance.
