Created in 1792, this engraving beautifully depicts four distinct tales: "The Fox and the Stork" "The Chinese Walking" "The Bear and the Garden Lover" and "The Chinese Officer". The intricate details of each scene transport us back to a time when literature, poetry, and art intertwined seamlessly.

As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the timeless wisdom contained within these stories - lessons that continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
