EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving of the letter "O" in an alphabet book from the late 19th century. Created by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre, a renowned bookseller-publisher based in Paris, this particular edition was completed on November 15,1875. The delicate and detailed engraving was skillfully executed by Alfred Prunaire, whose talent is evident in every stroke. The letter "O" is beautifully depicted with three distinct elements: a bear (ours), an omnibus (a type of horse-drawn public transport), and a goose (oie). These whimsical illustrations capture the essence of childhood imagination and playfulness. The bear represents strength and power, while the omnibus symbolizes transportation and movement. Finally, the presence of a goose adds an element of curiosity to this enchanting composition. Measuring at approximately 31x22cm with 36 pages in total, this rare piece now resides within a private collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic value but also as a testament to French culture during that era. Through this photograph taken by Duvallon and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers are transported back to a time when alphabets were taught through visual storytelling. This remarkable artwork serves as both an educational tool and a work of art that continues to captivate audiences today.
