EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the letter N from Jean Duvallon's "Comic Alphabet" series, specifically featuring the word "Niguedouille". The term "Niguedouille" is a popular synonym for "nigaud" or "nigaude" which refers to someone who is foolish or simple-minded. Created between 1860 and 1888, this engraving exemplifies Duvallon's talent in capturing human caricatures with a touch of humor and satire. The French artist collaborated with lithography Pinot et Sagaire as editors for this unique collection of illuminated letters. Measuring at approximately 40.5x28cm, this particular plate (nA'491) is part of a larger set containing 25 beautifully designed letters. It now resides in a private collection, adding to its exclusivity and historical value. The photograph was taken by eDuvallon and provides us with an opportunity to appreciate the intricate details of Duvallon's work up close. Each stroke reveals his mastery in portraying idiocy through portraiture, making it an intriguing piece within the realm of alphabet art. With its rich cultural significance tied to France during the 19th century, this print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into the artistic expression prevalent during that era. As it falls under public domain due to being out of copyright, we can freely explore and admire this remarkable creation by Jean Duvallon without any commercial implications.
