1847 Animees Crataegus Fairies Fairy Fleurs Gabriel Grandville Hawthorn Ignace Isidore Laevigata
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting handcolored steel engraving, titled "Hawthorn Fairy and Children," is an exquisite illustration from the rare and whimsical collection "Les Fleurs Animees" by Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville, published in Paris in 1847 by Gabriel de Gonet. The image, beautifully rendered by the skilled hand of C. Geoffrois, depicts a playful scene of a Hawthorn fairy, identified by the characteristic white flowers of the Crataegus laevigata shrub adorning her crown and dress, frolicking with a group of delighted children. The fairy, with her delicate wings spread wide, appears to be bestowing a bouquet of Hawthorn blossoms upon the children, who gaze up at her in awe and wonder. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate petals of the Hawthorn flowers to the children's clothing and the folds of the fairy's wings, are a testament to the masterful artistry of the time. This image invites us to imagine a world where fairies and flowers come to life, and where the simple joys of childhood are celebrated in the most magical of ways.
