EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a wood engraving from 1863, depicting the letter B personified as a barber in an alphabet of monkeys. The image is part of an abecedary collection consisting of 24 stencilled engravings, each measuring approximately 14.5x9.5cm. Housed in a private collection, this particular piece offers a whimsical glimpse into the creative mind of the French School during the 19th century. The anthropomorphism displayed in this artwork adds an element of charm and intrigue to its composition. The meticulous wood engraving technique brings out intricate details and textures, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in its creation. As we delve into this imaginative world, we are greeted by a mischievous monkey taking on the role of a barber – scissors poised mid-air with anticipation. This playful portrayal not only entertains but also highlights our fascination with animal behavior and their ability to mimic human activities. Jean Duvallon's skillful execution captures both humor and artistic finesse within this single frame. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to creativity and expression, even if it involves transforming letters into lively characters. This photograph preserves history while inviting us to explore new perspectives through visual storytelling. It encapsulates the essence of curiosity and wonder that continues to captivate audiences across generations.
