EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print from 1880 showcases the Letter F adorned with a stunning Emerald, a precious stone known for its vibrant green hue. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of an alphabet primer and costume history collection published by the Auguste Fretin shoe factory in Paris. The image exudes elegance and sophistication as it combines elements of fashion, jewelry, and allegory. The letter F takes center stage, beautifully embellished with a radiant emerald gemstone that symbolizes prosperity and abundance. Surrounding the letter are delicate floral motifs that add a touch of femininity to the composition. The young girl featured in this artwork adds an element of innocence and playfulness to the scene. Dressed in fashionable attire typical of late nineteenth-century France, she appears disguised amidst her colorful shawl and flower-adorned clothing. This chromolithograph not only serves as an advertisement but also captures the essence of European fashion during this era. It celebrates both artistry and craftsmanship while showcasing precious stones like emeralds alongside other gemstones such as lapis lazuli. Preserved within private collections today, this exquisite print offers us a glimpse into the past—a visual representation of beauty, style, and creativity from one remarkable period in history.
