EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a whimsical scene from the children's book "Les animaux en train de plaisir" by J. Jacquin, illustrated by G. H. Thompson and published in 1885 by Hachette et Cie in Paris. The image showcases anthropomorphized animals engaged in playful antics, bringing the story to life. In this particular illustration, we witness an amusing moment as one animal pushes another who crashes into a window. The diverse cast of characters includes a giraffe, turtle, lion, bear, camel, tiger, fox, brown bear, monkey, crocodile and more. Each creature is depicted with charming detail and personality. The artist's skillful use of color adds vibrancy to the scene while maintaining a vintage charm that transports us back to 19th century France. From the tawny hues of the lion's mane to the earthy tones of the bears' fur and luggage scattered about their feet - every element contributes to creating an enchanting atmosphere. This delightful piece not only appeals to children but also evokes nostalgia for adults who appreciate classic literature and artistry. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through both words and visuals. Leonard de Selva has masterfully preserved this timeless artwork in his collection for all generations to enjoy. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the joyous wonders that can be found within the pages of beloved children's books like "Les animaux en train de plaisir. "
