[The Gardener and His Lord] Le Jardinier et son SeigneurFable 4 Livre 4.

Gouget direx.
[Paris, n.d., 1834.]
Engraving. 320 x 240mm (12½ x 9½").
An illustration to a fable by Jean de La Fontaine. A gardener asks his lord for help ridding his garden of an hare: the lord gathers his huntsmen and makes more of a mess than the hare. The moral: ''Princelings, end your own disputes and be glad. / To call on kings for help you would truly be mad. / In your wars you must never let them take a hand, Nor ever invite them onto your land.''
