EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the 1920s as we witness a tender moment between Cecile and her beloved cardboard cat. The French School artist beautifully captures the innocence and joy of childhood in this print. Cecile, a young girl with wide eyes filled with wonder, delicately caresses her treasured toy. The cardboard cat, worn from countless hours of play, holds a special place in Cecile's heart. Its simplicity is enchanting - just like the era it represents. This image comes from "The alphabet of my boyfriends" an alphabet primer published by Librairie Hachette in Paris during that time. Illustrated by S. Decam, these illustrations were meant to engage children while teaching them their ABCs. Measuring at 30.5x24 cm, this print is part of a private collection that has preserved its beauty throughout the years. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture fleeting moments and evoke emotions long after they have passed. Jean Duvallon's skillful photography immortalizes not only Cecile but also an entire generation's experience of childhood playfulness and imagination. This artwork transports us to early twentieth-century France when toys like plush animals held immense value for children. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the power that art possesses - to transcend time and bring forth memories that resonate within our souls.
