EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engravings of Letter M and N from the "Usual Alphabet" collection by A. Quinn, printer-publisher in 1885. The illustrations depict contrasting qualities in children, with Letter M representing Messy and Letter N embodying Niais (meaning foolish or simple-minded in French).
Illustrated by Adrien Marie and engraved by Michelet, these images delve into the theme of quality and defect in children during the late 19th century. The detailed artwork captures a whimsical scene featuring a farm setting with animals like geese, a young child dressed in traditional attire, and elements such as an inkwell symbolizing education.
The composition measures 24x18cm and is part of The Children's Encyclopedie collection, reflecting the educational focus of the era. This piece offers a glimpse into historical perceptions of childhood behavior and character development.
Through this enchanting visual narrative, viewers are transported back to a time when alphabet letters were not just symbols but also conveyed moral lessons. The combination of artistry and storytelling makes this print a valuable addition to any private collection interested in exploring cultural representations of youth during the 19th century.
