EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Plate 2: Ear-piercing, Gupe, Blue Meat Fly, Flambe, Gardener, Centipedes, Firefly" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century natural history. Measuring at a modest 19.5x13.5 cm and part of a private collection, this print is an exquisite example of French School artistry. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a variety of insects that once fascinated both children and adults alike. From the delicate butterfly to the industrious firefly and the menacing centipede, each creature is meticulously rendered with scientific precision. This particular artwork was originally featured in an advertising album called "Syllabary alphabet of butterflies and insects". Produced by Pellerin et Cie in Epinal during the late 19th century, it aimed to educate while captivating its audience through descriptive texts accompanying each image. As we gaze upon this piece today, we are transported to a time when curiosity about nature's wonders was celebrated through artistic expression. The combination of entomology and visual storytelling creates an intriguing juxtaposition that sparks our imagination. Let us marvel at this snapshot from history—a testament to human fascination with the natural world—and appreciate how it continues to captivate viewers even centuries later.
