EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'" takes us back to the late 19th century. Created by Henri Gray, also known as Henri Boulanger, this piece measures 18.5x16.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The artwork forms part of an alphabet series that aimed to teach children valuable life lessons through vivid imagery and poetic texts written by Mrs. P. Boulanger. Published by Jules Levy, each page features an illustrious word beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. In this particular print, we are drawn to the letter S - symbolizing wisdom - which is beautifully depicted through various elements within the composition. A young child sits on a plush chair surrounded by toys and animals, including a snake slithering across the floor and a mischievous monkey perched on their shoulder. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; from the intricate engravings of insects crawling along blades of grass to the carefully crafted hat worn by our young protagonist. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene while highlighting specific details such as the sun shining brightly outside. Henri Gray's skillful technique shines through in every line etched onto paper, showcasing his mastery over engraving artistry during this period in history. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from yesteryear, it serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, wisdom can be found all around us if we take time to observe and learn from our surroundings.
