EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Fables of Aesop: The Jackdaw and Peacocks" transports us to the enchanting world of ancient fables. Created by Henry Louis Stephens in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from one of Aesop's timeless tales. In this scene, we witness a mischievous jackdaw surrounded by majestic peacocks. The contrast between the humble bird and its extravagant companions is strikingly depicted through intricate details and delicate shading. Each feather on the proud peacocks' tails seems to shimmer with vibrant colors, while the jackdaw stands out with its dark plumage against a backdrop of white. As we delve into this illustration, we are reminded of the profound lessons embedded within Aesop's fables.

"The Fables of Aesop: The Jackdaw and Peacocks" serves as both an exquisite piece of artistry and a reminder that age-old wisdom continues to resonate in our
