Title: “Aesop’s Fables” poster by Mark Gonyea
Description: 2012 “Aesop’s Fables” poster by Mark Gonyea. Two copies. 12” x 16”. Story Posters. Purchased from the artist on Etsy, August, ‘18.

Here is a fascinating approach to fables. The poster has eleven “blocks” of 3 x 3 images. Blocks have uniform blue, tan, and green backgrounds to let them be easily identified. Each block presents one fable through black-and-white images. A good example is the first, which pictures TH. By the third image, they are at the starting point. By the sixth, we have seen the hare racing and the tortoise plodding. The crucial seventh image shows the hare sitting perched against a tree. He awakens in the eighth, and the ninth shows the tortoise crossing the finish line. For another good presentation, follow DS in the lower left. The crucial middle image shows the bone falling. This is clever work!
