EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'" transports us back to the late 19th century. Created by Henri Gray, also known as Henri Boulanger, this artwork measures 18.5x16.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The image showcases the letter V in all its glory - Veneration and Violin are beautifully depicted alongside a majestic vulture perched on a vine-covered cow. The intricate details of the engraving bring these elements to life, capturing our imagination. Published by Jules Levy, this illustration is one among many in an alphabet book that aimed to teach children valuable lessons through engaging visuals and accompanying poems written by Mrs. P. Boulanger. Engraved and printed by Ch. Gillot in Paris around 1890, this piece exemplifies the artistic craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Each page of this alphabet book contained unique illustrations like this one, encouraging young minds to explore various concepts while expanding their vocabulary. As we delve into this enchanting print from Fine Art Finder's extensive collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but appreciate how it captures both the innocence of childhood and the beauty found in nature. From the delicate violet flowers adorning the scene to the stern expression on the father figure's face symbolizing severity or discipline – every element tells a story within itself. This artwork serves as a reminder of how education was imparted through art during earlier times when technology had not yet taken over classrooms. It invites us to reflect on our own educational journeys while appreciating timeless masterpieces like these that continue to inspire generations even today.
