Motif of the French illustrator: "The Hare and the Tortoise" after the fable by La Fontaine (1621 - 1695), from a series of fables by various authors and artists, the texts are printed on the back of each one, Edition Educatives Paris, ca. 1890. There are of course also books on this topic, e.g. "Fables and Parables of World Literature" by Theodor Etsel (with three tortoise stories). La Fontaine's short stories are dramatic, instructive and almost exclusively dedicated to animals. A number of other artists refer to the story of the hare and the tortoise, and a Greek fable even tells of it.
