EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'", takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century childhood. Created by Henri Gray (1858-1924), also known as Henri Boulanger, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the innocence and wonder of children. Measuring at 18.5x16.2 cm, this print transports us into a realm where imagination reigns supreme. Within its frame, we find a young child engrossed in conversation with a plush bird toy perched on their finger. The child's face radiates joy and curiosity as they engage in an animated dialogue with their feathered friend. Surrounded by various plants and nestled within a cozy nest is another endearing element - a young animal seeking comfort from its mother nearby. This heartwarming scene reminds us of the importance of nurturing relationships and the beauty found in nature's embrace. The letter N stands tall above them all, symbolizing naivete - an essential quality that allows children to explore the world without fear or prejudice. As Neptune gracefully emerges from beneath the water lilies, he adds an air of mythological charm to this delightful composition. Engraved around 1890 by Ch. Gillot in Paris, this illustration was part of Jules Levy's publication called "Alphabet of good examples". Complemented by poems written by Mrs. P. Boulanger, each image within these pages invites readers to discover illustrious words hidden within their depths. Now preserved within a private collection, this exquisite piece captures not only our attention but also our hearts with its timeless message: embracing innocence and cherishing moments filled with discovery are virtues worth celebrating throughout generations.
