EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'", transports us back to a time when children's literature was both educational and enchanting. Created by Henri Gray (1858-1924), under the pseudonym Henri Boulanger, this intricate artwork measures 18.5x16.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The illustration showcases the letter C character in all its glory, featuring an array of delightful elements that capture our imagination. A cat donning a helmet stands proudly alongside a raven blowing on a bugle bell, while a cactus and cannon add an unexpected twist to the scene. A crab scuttles nearby, adding another touch of whimsy. Engraved as part of Jules Levy's "Alphabet of good examples", this piece combines artistry with education seamlessly. The accompanying text by Mrs. P. Boulanger provides poetic insights into each image throughout the book's 62 pages. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in this engraving is owed to Ch. Gillot, who handled both the engraving and printing process at their workshop on Rue Madame in Paris around 1890. As we explore this enchanting artwork further, we are reminded of childhood innocence and playfulness through various symbols such as plush animals and toys scattered throughout the composition. Birds soar above while children engage in games with hoops or ride toy barrows—a testament to the joyous spirit captured within these pages. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every intricate detail preserved over time—an opportunity to immerse ourselves in history and relish in the beauty created by artists long ago.
