EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'", takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France. Created by Henri Gray (1858-1924), also known as Henri Boulanger, this intricate piece measures 18.5x16.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The illustration forms part of an alphabet book filled with delightful poems written by Mrs. P. Boulanger, accompanied by Gray's exquisite engravings. Published around 1890 by Jules Levy, this particular image represents the letter F and showcases a plethora of intriguing elements. Within its frame, we discover a whimsical assortment featuring Fraternitis (brotherhood), False Frelon (a mischievous bee), Fleuret Fusil (a fencing sword), Fuschia Faucon (a falcon perched on fuchsia flowers). The composition also includes various animals such as birds and plush toys alongside objects like buckets and hoops. Gray's attention to detail shines through in each carefully etched line while Ch. Gillot skillfully executed the engraving process at their workshop on rue Madame in Paris. As we explore this charming scene from childhood imagination, we are transported to a time when children played games with simple toys amidst nature's beauty. This print captures the essence of innocence and generosity that resonates within every child's heart. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this engraving serves as both an educational tool for learning the alphabet and a visual feast for art enthusiasts alike. It reminds us that even in our modern age, there is still magic to be found within the pages of a well-loved book or cherished artwork like this one captured beautifully by Duvallon Photography.
