The Peacock's Complaint
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from the renowned book "Baby's Own Aesop" engraved and printed by Edmund Evans in London around 1920. This enchanting color lithograph, now part of a private collection, showcases the artistic brilliance of Walter Crane (1845-1915), who created it. In this morality tale brought to life through art, we witness a stunning scene where Juno, the goddess seated on her majestic throne, listens attentively to the peacock's grievances. The vibrant colors and intricate details beautifully capture both the elegance of Juno and the flamboyant beauty of the peacock. The message behind this fable resonates deeply with its viewers: do not quarrel with nature or be discontented with one's own circumstances. The peacock symbolizes vanity and dissatisfaction as he complains about his lot in life. Through Crane's skillful storytelling, young readers are taught an important moral lesson – to be content with what they have instead of yearning for what others possess. This children's illustration serves as a timeless reminder that comparing oneself to others only leads to unhappiness. It encourages young minds to appreciate their unique qualities while embracing gratitude for their individual blessings. As we admire this remarkable print from "Baby's Own Aesop" let us reflect upon its profound wisdom and strive towards finding contentment within ourselves rather than seeking it externally.
