EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "E: Elephant, writing, child, star" by Devambez takes us back to the late 19th century when educational books were treasured possessions. The image is part of the renowned "Alphabet of the Phosphatin Falieres" edited by Phosphatine Falieres. In this particular snapshot, a young child can be seen engrossed in learning as they sit at a wooden desk. Their small hands delicately hold a book open to the letter 'E, ' which stands for elephant. With intense focus and determination, they trace over the elegant cursive letters with a quill pen dipped in ink. The room is filled with an air of nostalgia as sunlight streams through tall windows adorned with lace curtains. The walls are lined with shelves holding various educational materials - books, globes, and charts - all aimed at enriching young minds. This photograph beautifully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the importance placed on education during that era. It serves as a reminder of how knowledge was once imparted through printed pages rather than digital screens. Devambez's masterful engraving skills are evident in every detail of this print; from the intricate patterns on the wallpaper to each stroke forming the letters on paper. This exquisite piece transports us back to an age where children eagerly absorbed knowledge from classic textbooks like these – sparking curiosity and igniting their thirst for learning.
