"The author of this attack is a delicate little wolf" from Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals 1832 - 1852

"The author of this attack is a delicate little wolf" is a lithograph from J.J. Grandville's *Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals*. The print, created between 1832 and 1852, features anthropomorphic animals engaging in a humorous scene, a trademark of Grandville's work. The image satirizes human behavior by depicting a wolf as a seemingly innocent and delicate creature while the other animals, including a monkey and a dog, are portrayed as menacing and violent. Grandville's distinctive style, characterized by exaggerated features and grotesque imagery, contributed to his popularity as a social commentator and caricaturist. This print, like many of his works, uses animal symbolism and visual satire to make witty observations about human nature.
