EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the M and P uppercase letters alongside a detailed description of the Kingfisher. Created in 1890 by the French School, this chromolithography piece measures 12 x 7.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The image is a part of an alphabet series called "alphabet Besnier chocolate" which was published by Chocolaterie Besnier in Le Mans around the same time. The series features menu cards with animal-themed illustrations created using chromolithography. The vibrant colors used in this print bring to life both the beauty of the Kingfisher bird and the elegance of these specific letters. The intricate details highlight each feather on the bird's body, making it appear almost lifelike. This artwork not only serves as an alphabet primer but also doubles as an advertisement for Chocolaterie Besnier. It seamlessly combines elements from zoology, natural history, and advertising into one stunning composition. Lithograph technology was employed to create this masterpiece, resulting in high-quality prints that were widely popular during that era. The use of chromolithography further enhanced its visual appeal by adding rich colors to every illustration. Overall, this print captures both artistic excellence and educational value through its depiction of nature's wonders combined with language learning tools. It stands as a testament to European artistry from the late nineteenth century while showcasing France's contribution to lithographic techniques.
