EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "The Stag and its Reflection from Aesop's Fables" we are transported into the enchanting world of moral storytelling. Published by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. in London, this book illustration by John Edwin Noble beautifully captures the essence of vanity and self-deception. At first glance, we see a majestic stag standing near a tranquil pond, its antlers reaching towards the sky with pride. The stag is mesmerized by its own reflection in the water, unaware of the lurking danger that awaits it. This fable reminds us that vanity can blind even the noblest creatures. As we delve deeper into the story, we discover that a cunning lion has been silently stalking its prey from behind dense foliage. With every passing moment, tension builds as nature's predator prepares to strike. Through this image, Noble masterfully portrays not only the physical beauty of these animals but also their complex emotions and vulnerabilities. It serves as a powerful reminder for us humans to be cautious about our own vanities and to remain humble in our pursuits. Bridgeman Images brings this timeless tale to life through their exceptional collection of fine art prints. This particular piece invites viewers to reflect on their own actions and choices while appreciating both the artistic skill involved and Aesop's enduring wisdom captured within one frame.
