EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Peaon, 1850" is a stunning piece of art that showcases the beauty of a peacock. Created by Louis Simon Lassalle (Cabaillot-Lassalle) in the mid-19th century, this print measures 18x12 cm and is part of a private collection. The artwork originally appeared in "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" by Mrs. Louise Leneveux, an educational book published in Paris in 1850. This alphabet primer featured 16 lithographs drawn by Lassalle, including this exquisite depiction of a peacock. The book aimed to educate readers about various animals found in the garden through vivid illustrations and informative vignettes. Lassalle's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the majestic bird with its vibrant feathers proudly on display. The intricate lines and shading bring out every nuance, capturing the grace and elegance for which peacocks are renowned. This engraving not only serves as a visual delight but also reflects the growing interest in natural history during the period. It highlights zoological studies and contributes to our understanding of these magnificent creatures. As we admire this remarkable artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of nature's wonders captured through artistic expression.
