This print showcases two proverbs depicted in images of Epinal, a town known for its traditional engravings. The first proverb, "A good cat, good rat" is beautifully illustrated with an allegorical image of a cat and a rat peacefully coexisting. This powerful maxim suggests that when individuals put aside their differences and work together harmoniously, great things can be achieved. The second proverb featured in the print is "The sauce passes the fish". In this enchanting engraving, we see an animal observing as a delicious sauce flows over a fish. This thought-provoking saying implies that sometimes external factors or circumstances have more influence than one's own abilities or efforts. Dating back to the 19th century, these timeless proverbs continue to resonate with audiences today. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship captured by Leonard de Selva highlight the rich cultural heritage associated with Epinal's famous imagery tradition.
