Original Salvador Dali etching "L'Illusioniste" from Suite The Magicians, hand-signed by Dali in pencil and hand-colored with watercolor.
La Fontaine's Fables are a collection of moral stories written by the French poet Jean de La Fontaine in the 17th century. He used anthropomorphized animals to convey life and ethics lessons through short, allegorical stories, with a witty style and poetic language that made them classics of literature.
