1863 "Le Satyre et le Passant." (Jean) Pastelot. L'Illustrateur des Dames: Journal des Soirees de Famille." 3rd year, No. 43. October 25, 1863. Front cover. 10¼" x 14". €10 at Clignancourt, July, '19.
This rendition of the fable is more active than some others. The satyr is actively dispelling the visitor or, perhaps more accurately, warding him off from his children and wife. The attractive woman balances the male satyr nicely. I cannot tell whether we are in a cave or a woods: perhaps that is the point!
