EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in a mythical land, a brave and noble lion fell deeply in love with a beautiful maiden. However, the lion knew that his fearsome appearance and sharp claws and teeth made him an unsuitable companion for the delicate and gentle maiden. Desiring to win her heart, the lion made a selfless decision to undergo a painful transformation. He approached the wise and kindly old tale-teller, La Fontaine, seeking his guidance. La Fontaine, known for his collection of fables, listened intently to the lion's plea and agreed to help him. The lion's journey to tame his wild exterior began with a long and arduous process. He must first agree to let his teeth be plucked out one by one, each extraction causing him great pain and discomfort. Next, his claws were carefully cut off, leaving him feeling vulnerable and exposed. The lion endured each moment with courage and determination, knowing that the end result would be worth the sacrifice. As the lion's transformation neared completion, the maiden, who had been watching from a distance, was moved by his bravery and selflessness. She approached the now tamed lion, her heart filled with admiration and love. The lion, no longer a fearsome beast, but a gentle and loving companion, welcomed her embrace. Together, they lived happily ever after, a testament to the power of love and the strength of the heart. This beautiful and moving image, captured circa 1870, depicts the moment of transformation, with the lion's teeth and claws lying beside him as he embraces the maiden. The intricate details and rich colors of the print transport us to a time when fables held a special place in our hearts and reminded us of the power of love and the courage it takes to change for the better.
