The Quack Frog Canvas Print

A large warty frog in a green coat holding a cane and bottle of elixir, flogging his wares to a dog, a fox, two mice, a goose, a donkey and a rooster. Fun illustration by Arthur Rackham from “The Quack Frog” in Aesop’s Fables, published in 1912. Once upon a time a Frog came forth from his home in the marshes and proclaimed to all the world that he was a learned physician, skilled in drugs and able to cure all diseases. Among the crowd was a Fox, who called out, “You a doctor! Why, how can you set up to heal others when you cannot even cure your own lame legs and blotched and wrinkled skin?” Physician, heal thyself.
