"Master Raven, perched on a tree, held a cheese in his beak."

Context of the work

La Fontaine's most famous fable (1668) features a fox who, through pure flattery, persuades a boastful crow to open its beak to sing - and drop its cheese. A timeless satire of vanity and self-serving flattery, inherited from Aesop.

What is the moral of "The Crow and the Fox"?

The fable teaches that flattery always benefits the one who bestows it: the fox gets the crow's cheese simply by praising its singing, revealing vanity as an exploitable weakness.

Beautiful words deserve beautiful paper

These verses are set to be hung: a chosen typeface, measured margins, white space worked around the text. The paper, an uncoated matte 170 gsm, stays slightly fibrous: it reads like the page of a book.

There is a quiet pleasure in living with French literature in the original. The poem keeps the language it was written in, and with it the sound the writer chose, which no translation quite carries over. On an English-speaking wall it stops being decoration and becomes something with a little cachet: a piece of France you can read on your way past, every morning. It earns the large format. At 50x70 cm the text is read from across the room, and the page holds a wall the way a painting does.
