EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century print titled "The town rat and the country rat" we are transported into the world of Jean de La Fontaine's fables. The illustration, part of a collection for children called Les Fables de La Fontaine pour Bebe, captures a delightful scene set in a dining room. The image depicts two contrasting characters: the sophisticated town rat and the humble country rat. As they sit at a beautifully laid table, adorned with an array of delicious food, their differences become apparent. The town rat is elegantly dressed and exudes an air of refinement, while the country rat appears more rustic in his attire. As they prepare to dine together, we can almost taste the anticipation in the air. The mealtime atmosphere is filled with excitement as both rats eagerly eye their food supply. This scene serves as a reminder that even though our circumstances may differ greatly, our shared need for sustenance unites us all. "The town rat and the country rat" not only showcases exquisite artistry but also imparts valuable lessons about gratitude and contentment to young readers. Through its vivid imagery and timeless narrative, this print from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on our own perspectives towards life's simple pleasures - reminding us that sometimes it is in embracing simplicity that true joy can be found.
