EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a late 19th-century advertising sticker featuring the iconic fable of "The Hare and the Turtle" by French School. The artwork, originating from Bon Marche department store in France, beautifully depicts this timeless tale penned by Jean de La Fontaine. In this enchanting scene, we see the determined turtle slowly but steadily making its way towards the finish line while the overconfident hare lounges lazily nearby. This classic fable teaches us valuable lessons about patience, perseverance, and not underestimating others. The intricate details of this chromolithography chromo are brought to life through Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills. The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes showcase the artistry behind this advertising sticker that once adorned shop windows or walls. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of both literature's power to inspire and Bon Marche's historical significance as a renowned boutique in France. It serves as a reminder that even within commercial spaces, art can be found and appreciated for its cultural value. This photograph transports us back in time to an era where storytelling merged with commerce, inviting customers into a world where animals came alive on paper. Let us cherish these remnants of our past as they continue to captivate our imagination and remind us of enduring moral lessons passed down through generations.
