EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Poligny (Jura)" takes us back to the 19th century in France. The print showcases a picturesque scene of Poligny, a charming town located in the Jura region. With intricate details and delicate lines, this illustration was originally featured in the Dictionnaire Populaire Illustre by Decembre-Alonnier around 1880. The artist from the French School beautifully captures the essence of Poligny, showcasing its architectural charm and natural beauty. The image transports us to a time when dictionaries were not only sources of knowledge but also works of art themselves. Displayed against a backdrop of other books and textbooks from that era, this print is an exquisite representation of 19th-century engravings. Its black and white palette adds depth and elegance to the composition while emphasizing every intricate detail. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how illustrations like these played an essential role in educating people during that period. This artwork serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
