EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Grasshopper and the Ant" from Fontaine Fables, published in 1905. The engraving, skillfully created by Percy J. Billingshurst (1871-1933), is a part of The Stapleton Collection and is now out of copyright. In this enchanting scene, we see a vibrant poppy field with an insect perched on one of the delicate flowers. In the background, ears of corn sway gently in the breeze. This image beautifully captures the essence of this timeless mythological fable. "The Grasshopper and the Ant" tells a moral tale that has resonated with children for generations. It teaches us about hard work, preparation, and responsibility through its characters: the carefree grasshopper who spends his days singing and dancing while neglecting to gather food for winter; and the diligent ant who diligently stores grain to survive during harsh times. This evocative print transports us into this beloved children's story, reminding us of its enduring lessons. It serves as a delightful reminder that even though myths may be fantastical in nature, they often hold valuable truths within their narratives. Whether displayed in a child's room or cherished by art enthusiasts alike, this exquisite print brings joy to all who appreciate classic tales woven into stunning visual artistry.
