The Mice and the Screech Owl
Dublin Core
Title
The Mice and the Screech Owl
Description
1900? Button “Screech Owl and Mice.” Jean de La Fontaine. 1”. $21.25 from OneWomanRepurposed, Portu, Portugal, through Etsy, August, ’18.
The busyness of life has kept me from cataloguing this button for three years. I believe it is a rare catch! The button authentically portrays the special “trick” of this screech-owl, removing the legs of the mice he cultivated. La Fontaine seems to have admired this example of intelligence in an animal. Who wants to carry around an allusion like this on his or her buttons?
