EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Devilish Alphabet" takes us back to the year 1825. Engraved by Delannois, this lithograph showcases a diabolical alphabet that is both intriguing and sinister. The artist, Delaporte, skillfully captures the essence of each letter with demonic silhouettes intertwined with snakes and serpents. The intricate details of this historical artwork transport us to a time when letters were not just symbols but held an eerie power. Each capital letter is historiated with devilish elements, giving them a unique personality that reflects their dark origins. The use of reptiles such as snakes adds an extra layer of symbolism to the composition. These animals have long been associated with temptation and evil in various cultures throughout history. Their presence here enhances the overall diabolic atmosphere created by Delaporte's masterful engraving technique. Displayed at the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this photograph print from eArchives Charmet allows us to appreciate the artistic prowess behind this remarkable piece. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture our imagination and transport us into different worlds - even those inhabited by demons. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, "Devilish Alphabet" continues to captivate viewers today as it did almost two centuries ago.
