About this work

This image shows nine black-and-white scenes of animals acting out short stories. Each small box has a simple background with bold shapes—trees, rocks, or water—and animals like wolves, foxes, and birds doing things like climbing or talking. The text under each scene tells a quick moral lesson, like "A Crow dressed in a peacock’s quill saw that the results were ill." The whole print uses a single technique where the artist carved images into wood and stamped them onto colored paper. The animals are stylized, with thick outlines and no shading, making them look like silhouettes. Try looking up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
