EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "T for Tiger, 1850" by Louis Simon Lassalle takes us back to the enchanting world of education in the 19th century. The print is part of a remarkable alphabet primer called "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" created by Mrs. Louise Leneveux and illustrated with exquisite lithographs drawn by Lassalle. Measuring 18x12 cm, this particular print showcases the majestic Bengal tiger, a symbol of strength and grace. As an educational tool, it aimed to introduce young minds to the wonders of the animal kingdom through captivating visuals. Lassalle's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous rendering of the tiger's features, capturing its fierce yet mesmerizing presence. The engraving transports us to a time when natural history was at the forefront of scientific exploration. Displayed in private collections today, this piece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and educational advancement during that era. It offers us a glimpse into how knowledge was disseminated through beautifully crafted illustrations like these. As we admire this historical gem captured by Duvallon's lens, we are reminded not only of our fascination with wild cats but also of our continuous quest for understanding nature's mysteries.
