EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Alphabet Album of Great Wild Animals & Sea Fish" created by Gabriel Gostiaux dit E. Phosty in 1890. The print features an exquisite lithograph by Jean Duvallon, measuring 29x39 cm, and depicts various elements related to language and wildlife. The focal point of the image is a detailed illustration of a Cape Buffalo, native to South Africa, surrounded by consonants, vowels, and accents. This artistic representation beautifully merges nature with language, highlighting the diversity found in both realms. Adjacent to the buffalo are depictions of a Monkey and Guenon, adding an element of playfulness to the composition. These mischievous creatures seem to be observing the alphabet arrangement with curiosity and intrigue. Completing this enchanting scene is an Otter gracefully positioned at the bottom corner. Its presence adds fluidity and movement to the overall design while symbolizing adaptability and agility. Gabriel Gostiaux's mastery in chromolithography shines through this remarkable piece as he skillfully captures each animal's essence with vibrant colors and intricate details. As we admire this vintage artwork today, we can appreciate its historical significance as part of Epinal Imagery produced by Pellerin & Cie printers and publishers. This particular print holds immense value not only for art enthusiasts but also for those interested in linguistics or wildlife studies.
