EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "Ah! My heart hurts!" could be: "Madame Hippo, a character from the children's book 'Les animaux en train de plaisir', is depicted in this charming illustration by G. H. Thompson. The artwork, part of the Selva Collection, was featured in the 1885 edition published by Hachette et Cie in Paris. In this whimsical scene, Madame Hippo can be seen expressing her distress with a hand placed over her heart and a pained expression on her face. The anthropomorphized animal characters in the book bring to life a delightful world where animals experience human emotions and interact with each other. Thompson's detailed drawing captures the essence of Madame Hippo's discomfort as she murmurs about her hurting heart. The vibrant colors and intricate lines showcase his artistic skill and attention to detail. This illustration transports us back to 19th-century France, immersing us in a world filled with adventure and imagination. It is an example of French literature that captivated young readers during that time period. The Selva Collection preserves this piece of literary history, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance even today. "
