EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique and whimsical depiction of the letter C as a hunting horn, surrounded by ducks and pickles. The image is part of a small encyclopedic alphabet collection from the 19th century, specifically an imaging of Epinal created around 1860. The wood engraving technique used in this artwork adds depth and texture to the intricate details, while gilding enhances its visual appeal. With dimensions measuring 37.8x50.3cm, this piece is currently held in a private collection. The composition itself is both playful and imaginative, combining elements of nature with man-made objects. The hunting horn symbolizes adventure and excitement, evoking images of hunters traversing through picturesque landscapes in search of game. Surrounding the letter C are ducks - graceful creatures associated with water bodies and known for their elegant movements. Their presence adds movement to the scene while also highlighting the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals. Lastly, pickles add an unexpected touch to this artistic representation. Perhaps they serve as a reminder that even within alphabets or encyclopedias, there can be surprises waiting to be discovered. Overall, this vintage artwork by Jean Duvallon captures attention with its blend of creativity and craftsmanship – offering viewers an enchanting glimpse into historical imagery combined with imaginative storytelling through letters.
