EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "C D: Swan -- Mastiff, 1850" is a stunning piece of art that showcases the talent of Louis Simon Lassalle. Measuring 18x12 cm, this print is part of a private collection and holds historical significance. The artwork was created for "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" by Mrs Louise Leneveux, also known as Marie-Louise Pignot. This educational book featured 16 lithographs drawn by Lassalle and numerous vignettes on wood. Published in Paris in 1850 by Mrs Veuve Louis Janet, it aimed to educate readers about various animals found in the natural world. In this particular engraving, we see a majestic mastiff dog standing beside a graceful swan or cygnet. The juxtaposition of these two creatures creates an intriguing visual contrast. It not only highlights the diversity found in nature but also symbolizes the importance of coexistence between different species. Lassalle's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The intricate lines bring out the textures and features of both animals with precision and finesse. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich history of zoology and natural sciences during the nineteenth century. It reminds us how art has always played an essential role in educating people about our natural world while simultaneously showcasing artistic brilliance.
