EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of the letter K in the "Alphabet" series, created by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre, a renowned bookseller-publisher based in Paris. The intricate design features three distinct elements starting with a majestic Kangaroo, symbolizing strength and resilience. Next to it is a vibrant pair of Kakatoes, representing the beauty and diversity of bird species found in nature. Lastly, we see an illustration of Kabyle, which highlights the rich cultural heritage of Algeria. Printed on November 15th, 1875, this piece is part of a larger collection consisting of 36 pages measuring 31x22cm. It currently resides in a private collection and was expertly engraved by Alfred Prunaire. The image transports us back to late 19th-century France when fascination with exotic animals and cultures was at its peak. The inclusion of these diverse elements reflects both European curiosity about far-off lands like Africa as well as their appreciation for artistic craftsmanship. Through this enchanting artwork, we are reminded not only of the importance placed on education during that time but also how art can serve as a bridge between different cultures and traditions. This print captures the essence of French-European sensibilities while celebrating African wildlife and Algerian culture simultaneously.
