EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" by Percy J. Billinghurst transports us into the world of French literature and fables. Titled "The Old Cat and the Young Mouse" it beautifully depicts a scene from Collection 3, Book 12, Fable 5. In this enchanting artwork, we witness an encounter between two contrasting characters – an old cat and a young mouse. The intricate details captured in black and white bring out the essence of the story's themes: oldness, youth, wisdom, and vulnerability. As we gaze at this piece, we can almost feel the weight of experience carried by the old cat as it gazes upon the youthful mouse with both curiosity and caution. The engraving captures their interaction perfectly – a moment frozen in time that speaks volumes about life's delicate balance between predator and prey. Created in 1899 by Percy James Billinghurst, this work showcases his mastery as an engraver. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen or chisel. "The Old Cat and the Young Mouse" reminds us of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless tales that continue to captivate readers even centuries later. It serves as a testament to art's ability to transcend time itself while preserving stories that have shaped our cultural heritage.
