EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of "L'ABC du Pepetit Poucet" from 1928, featuring an exquisite engraving by Armand de Quatrefages. Measuring 18 x 27.5 cm, this private collection piece is a true gem in the world of French literature and illustration. The enchanting image transports us into a world of adventure and imagination. A young child, possibly the titular character Pepetit Poucet, stands fearlessly on top of a giant boot while holding an oversized sock. The intricate details depict scenes from this beloved folktale as we see a bandit lurking in the background and an ogre's menacing face peering out from behind. The combination of elements such as footwear, alphabet letters, and symbols associated with courage creates a visual narrative that invites viewers to explore further. This early twentieth-century masterpiece captures both the innocence and bravery found within children's stories. The artist's skillful use of engraving techniques brings depth and texture to each line, making every stroke come alive with emotion. The composition evokes feelings of wonderment and curiosity as we imagine ourselves diving into the pages of this remarkable book. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Duvallon Photography for Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again why books hold such power over our imaginations – they transport us to worlds beyond our own while teaching valuable lessons along the way.
