EDITORS COMMENTS
In the memory of Theophile Gautier (1811-1872), this print captures a moment of profound tribute. Surrounding a majestic bust of the esteemed writer, characters from his literary works emerge in costumes that reflect their stories, running with both sadness and dignity. Their presence is solemn yet powerful, as they pay homage to the creative genius that brought them to life. Amidst this poignant scene, a child sits atop a winged horse, gazing upon the procession with awe and admiration. With laurels in hand, symbolizing triumph and honor, the child bestows his crown upon those who have left an indelible mark on literature. The illustration itself is a masterpiece by Alfons Maria Mucha (1860-1939), renowned for his exquisite art nouveau style. Engraved by Fortune Meaulle (1844-1901) in 1890 for "La vie populaire" this piece showcases Mucha's talent for capturing emotion through intricate details and flowing lines. This remarkable artwork now resides in a private collection but continues to inspire all who encounter it. It serves as a testament to Gautier's enduring legacy and reminds us of the power of literature to transcend time and touch our souls.
