This print showcases the exquisite "Illustrations for Fables" by Jean de La Fontaine, a renowned French poet and writer from the 17th century. Created by imagerie Gangel and P. Didion in Metz during the 19th century, this colour engraving is a true masterpiece of artistry. The image transports us into the enchanting world of Aesop's fables, where animals come to life and teach us valuable lessons through their stories.
