EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Letter E: 'Child'" from the book L'ABC du Petit Poucet, 1928, showcases an enchanting engraving by Armand de Quatrefages. The image measures 18 x 27.5 cm and is part of a private collection. In this illustration, we are transported into a world of French literature and folklore. A young child dressed in a charming costume stands beneath the protective branches of a tree. The child's wide-eyed innocence is beautifully captured as they hold onto an antler with curiosity and wonder. The scene exudes a sense of brotherhood and family, symbolized by the strong bond between the child and nature. It evokes images of traditional folktales where children embark on magical adventures amidst lush forests. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element portrayed - from the intricate engravings on the tree trunk to the delicate foliage surrounding it. This piece not only serves as an alphabet letter but also immerses us in a larger narrative that speaks to our imagination. Through this artwork, we catch glimpses of early twentieth-century France, its rich literary heritage, and its love for storytelling. It reminds us of simpler times when children played freely among trees and reveled in their own imaginative worlds. Overall, this exquisite engraving captures both the essence of childhood innocence and the timeless beauty found within classic literature.
