EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "P: PA PE PI PO PU - Peach -- Kingfisher - Daisy - Fish - Basket -- Parasol, 1879". Created by the talented artist Fortune Louis Meaulle in the late nineteenth century, this piece is part of the renowned "Bird Alphabet" collection by Leon Becker. Published by Pierre-Jules Hetzel & Cie in Paris, this educational and recreational library masterpiece features woodcuts meticulously crafted by Meaulle. Measuring 27.5 x 18.5 cm, this enchanting artwork captures the essence of nature's beauty with its intricate depiction of various elements. From a vibrant peach to a majestic kingfisher perched on a daisy, each element represents a letter from the alphabet primer. The inclusion of a fish and basket adds depth to this composition while a parasol provides an unexpected touch. The black and white illustration transports viewers back to France during the nineteenth century when natural history and zoology were highly regarded fields of study. This remarkable engraving serves as both an artistic marvel and an educational tool for those interested in exploring the wonders of our natural world. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph taken by Duvallon allows us to appreciate every detail captured in Meaulle's work. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of Europe's rich cultural heritage and its contribution to artistry throughout history.
