EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Hippopotamus - Alphabet illustrates animals" takes us on a journey through the animal kingdom. Created by Edouard Travies, a renowned French artist of the time, this print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The artwork features a syllabary and an illustrated abecedary, with each illustration accompanied by a text description. The pages come together to form a comprehensive collection of 48 intricately designed images. Published by Garnier Freres in Paris, this work is not only visually stunning but also educational. The image itself captures the essence of the hippopotamus species, known as Hippopotamus amphibius in scientific terms. With its massive body submerged partially in water, we witness the raw power and grace of this magnificent creature. The vibrant colors used in the engraving bring life to every stroke and highlight the beauty found within nature. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an artistic creation; it serves as a testament to our fascination with zoology and natural history during that era. This engraving offers us a glimpse into both French culture and European scientific exploration at that time. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable print has now been captured beautifully by Duvallon's lens for all art enthusiasts to admire. It stands as an enduring symbol of creativity intertwined with knowledge – reminding us of humanity's eternal quest for understanding our world's diverse fauna.
