EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Letter N: Night" is a print from the renowned children's book L'ABC du Petit Poucet, published in 1928. Created by Armand de Quatrefages, a talented artist of the 20th century, this enchanting illustration measures 18 x 27.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. The image depicts a peaceful scene set in the nighttime hours. A young child wearing a nightgown and hat is seen sitting on an ornate bed, surrounded by various pieces of furniture. The child holds a crown in their hand while gazing at it with wonderment. This imagery evokes elements of French folklore and literature as well as childhood innocence. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line adds depth and texture to the composition. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates an atmosphere that perfectly captures the tranquility of nightfall. This print not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also functions as an educational tool for learning the alphabet. Each letter corresponds to different scenes or objects within the book, making it both visually appealing and intellectually stimulating for young readers. With its timeless charm and artistic finesse, "Letter N: Night" stands as a testament to Quatrefages' talent as an illustrator during the early twentieth century. It offers viewers a glimpse into French culture while simultaneously igniting their imagination through its whimsical depiction of bedtime rituals.
