EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pervenche Dessechee, from Les Fleurs Animees, 1847" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century French art. Created by Charles-Michel Geoffroy, this hand-colored wood engraving with lithography showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of nature and satire. The image depicts a woman personifying Pervenche Dessechee, or Withered Periwinkle, one of the animated flowers from Geoffroy's renowned series. Dressed in an intricately detailed gown adorned with periwinkle leaves and flowers, she stands gracefully amidst a whimsical backdrop of foliage. Geoffroy's mastery lies not only in his artistic technique but also in his ability to infuse humor and social commentary into his work. Through clever caricature and satirical elements, he playfully mocks societal norms and conventions prevalent during that era. The hand coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the print, bringing each delicate detail to life. The combination of lithography and wood engraving techniques further enhances its visual impact. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection, this artwork exemplifies the rich heritage of French artistry. It serves as a testament to Charles-Michel Geoffroy's contribution to both fine art and caricature genres. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time - immersed in an era where imagination flourished alongside creativity - reminding us that even centuries
