EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing engraving from 1861, titled "Letter H: By giving your hand, you have, without knowing, the turn that the H has," is a whimsical and thought-provoking piece of art. Created by Louis Gustave Fortune Ratisbonne under the pseudonym "Trim", this satirical drawing features a giraffe forming the letter H with its long neck as it reaches out to shake hands with a young bearer.
The image captures a moment of courtesy and education, as the giraffe unknowingly influences the shape of the letter H through its gesture. The intricate details in this engraving showcase Ratisbonne's skill as an engraver and his ability to create captivating imagery.
Set against a backdrop of furniture and architectural elements, this piece transports viewers to 19th century France, where satire and humor were often used to convey social commentary. The inclusion of animals in caricatures was common during this time period, adding an element of playfulness to serious subjects.
Overall, this print is not only visually striking but also invites viewers to reflect on how simple gestures can have unexpected consequences. It serves as a reminder that every action we take has an impact on our surroundings, whether we are aware of it or not.
