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 piece is a testament to his artistic prowess. The image showcases the letter L in an alphabet book filled with delightful scenes. In this particular illustration, we are transported into a whimsical realm where a lioness gracefully launches a plush rabbit through the air using a lyre as her launching pad. The scene is adorned with delicate lilies and books, symbolizing knowledge and beauty. Gray's attention to detail shines through in every element of this composition. From the intricate engravings on the lioness' fur to the carefully crafted musical instruments, each aspect adds depth and charm to the overall image. The artist collaborated closely with Mrs. P. Boulanger, who provided poetic texts that accompany each illustration in this remarkable series. Together they created a collection that not only educates but also sparks imagination and wonder. Engraved by Ch. Gillot in Paris around 1890, this print captures both innocence and sophistication within its borders. Its small size of 18.5x16.2 cm makes it alluringly intimate while still commanding attention. Now part of a private collection, this rare find invites viewers to explore its pages further—62 pages brimming with illustrious words waiting to be discovered within each image. Through its evocative imagery and meticulous craftsmanship, Gray's "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'" transports us back in time—a nostalgic reminder of simpler days filled with joyous playfulness and boundless creativity.
