EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting hand-colored steel engraving captures the whimsical world of Oxeye Daisy Flower Fairies, as depicted in Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville's illustration for the book "Les Fleurs Animees" published by Gabriel de Gonet in Paris in 1847. The image showcases a delightful scene of several flower fairies playfully engaged in plucking the petals of Oxeye Daisies, their tiny hands adorned with intricate flower hats that perfectly match the blooms they are tending to. The Oxeye Daisy, also known as Leucanthemum vulgare, is a common wildflower with a distinctive white floret and yellow disc surrounded by a ring of ray florets. Grandville, a renowned French satirical artist, was known for his imaginative and fantastical illustrations, which often blurred the lines between reality and fantasy. In "Les Fleurs Animees," he brought to life various flowers and plants, imbuing them with human-like characteristics and emotions. The Oxeye Daisy Flower Fairies, with their mischievous grins and flowery headpieces, embody the playful spirit of Grandville's artistic vision. This beautiful hand-colored steel engraving, created by C. Geoffrois, is a testament to the enduring allure of whimsy and the power of imagination. It invites us to step into a magical world where flowers come alive and fairies frolic among their petals, reminding us of the simple joys and enchantment that can be found in nature.
