EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from the late 19th century. Titled "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'", this engraving by Henri Gray (1858-1924) transports us to a world of whimsy and imagination. Measuring 18.5x16.2 cm, this delicate artwork is part of a private collection and was originally published in an alphabet book filled with delightful poems written by Mrs. P. Boulanger. The intricate engravings were masterfully created by Ch. Gillot, a renowned engraver based in Paris during that time. Within the image, we are introduced to various elements that capture our attention – from animals like eagles, donkeys, and birds perched on branches adorned with aloes plants; to a spider weaving its intricate web amidst lush foliage; and even children engaging in playful activities with plush toys. The artist's attention to detail is evident as each element within the illustration represents a letter or word associated with generosity and positive values - forming an educational game for young readers to explore while expanding their vocabulary. This piece not only reflects the artistic style prevalent during the late 19th century but also offers insight into childhood pastimes and European culture at that time. It serves as a testament to the enduring charm of traditional illustrations that continue to captivate audiences today. Through this print provided by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such intricate engravings as well as gain glimpses into historical periods through visual storytelling.
