"Illustration for The Wolf and the Lamb, from Fables by Jean de La Fontaine 1621-95 by Benjamin Rabier" is a visual representation created by French illustrator Benjamin Rabier, known for his contributions to the genre of children's book illustration. This particular illustration accompanies one of the fables written by Jean de La Fontaine, a renowned 17th-century French fabulist and poet. La Fontaine's fables, originally published in several volumes from 1668 to 1694, are a collection of tales that provide moral lessons, often through the use of anthropomorphic animals.

Benjamin Rabier (1864-1939), who illustrated this fable, was a prolific artist whose work was characterized by a humorous and expressive style, making him a significant figure in the development of European comic art. His illustrations for La Fontaine's fables are notable for their lively and engaging depictions of the characters, bringing a new dimension to the classic tales that have been enjoyed by both children and adults for centuries.

"The Wolf and the Lamb" is one of La Fontaine's most famous fables and tells the story of a lamb who is unjustly accused and ultimately devoured by a wolf, illustrating the theme of the strong dominating the weak and the use of spurious arguments to justify wrongful actions. Rabier's illustration captures the essence of the narrative, emphasizing the innocence of the lamb and the predatory nature of the wolf, thus enhancing the moral lesson of the fable.

Rabier's work on La Fontaine's fables has been celebrated for its ability to convey the wit and wisdom of the original texts through vivid and imaginative imagery. His illustrations have contributed to the enduring popularity of these classic stories, ensuring that they continue to be accessible and appealing to new generations of readers.
