EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from the late 19th century, specifically created for the "Alphabet of good examples". Crafted by the talented artist Henri Gray, also known as Henri Boulanger, this engraving measures 18.5x16.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The image depicts the letter R with utmost elegance and charm. It portrays a scene of recognition and admiration in which Romantic Summer Roses take center stage. The intricate details captured through engraving bring these delicate flowers to life, showcasing their beauty in all its glory. Published by Jules Levy, this artwork was accompanied by poetic texts written by Mrs. P. Boulanger. The meticulous engravings were skillfully executed by Ch. Gillot at his workshop on 79 rue Madame in Paris during the late 19th century. Within this remarkable alphabet series consisting of 62 pages, each image holds illustrious words waiting to be discovered and explored. This particular piece captures the essence of childhood innocence and wonderment as it combines elements such as fish swimming gracefully amidst blooming flowers. The soft pink hues add a touch of delicacy to the composition while evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times gone by. Additionally, an unexpected element appears - a razor - serving as both an agricultural tool and an intriguing beauty accessory. As we gaze upon this extraordinary engraving from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when artistry flourished within every stroke of ink on paper – reminding us that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still room for appreciation and contemplation within our own personal alphabet of good examples.
