Facsimiles of Autographed Texts

1900?  Facsimile of La Fontaine’s “The Statue Maker and the Statue of Jupiter” (IX.6), including La Fontaine’s signature.  Unknown source.

What a curious publication!  Of a curious poem!  La Fontaine reflects on how we make gods in the image of our own fears – if I understand correctly – while we ignore our own insights.
