EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting engraving titled "C: CA CE CI CO CU - Cockatoos - Cock - Goldfinch - Duck - Vine -- Choir, 1879" by Fortune Louis Meaulle. The artwork is part of the renowned "Bird Alphabet" collection created by Leon Becker and published in Paris in 1879. Measuring 27.5 x 18.5 cm, this woodcut masterpiece captures the essence of various bird species including cockatoos, a cock, goldfinches, ducks, and vines forming a choir-like composition. The intricate details and delicate lines bring these feathered creatures to life on paper. The photograph was taken from a private collection and offers us a glimpse into the educational and recreational library of Pierre-Jules Hetzel & Cie during the late nineteenth century. Meaulle's expertise as an engraver shines through in this piece as he skillfully depicts each alphabet letter with precision. With its black-and-white aesthetic, this illustration not only serves as an alphabet primer but also celebrates the beauty of zoology and natural history. It transports us back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak in Europe.
