EDITORS COMMENTS
X for Xiphias, 1901 (illustration) by Magne de la Croix captures the essence of early twentieth-century education and exploration. This print, measuring 27 x 22 cm, is part of a private collection and was featured in the book 'ABC of animals' published by Emile Guerin in Paris. Illustrated by Paul Magne de La Croix, this artwork showcases the intricate details of a swordfish, also known as Xiphias. As an alphabet primer or abecedary, this image served as an educational tool to introduce children to various animals through each letter of the alphabet. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this zoological specimen to life. The swordfish swims gracefully amidst its watery habitat, showcasing its unique features that make it stand out among other fishes. Its long bill or rostrum is prominently displayed along with its sleek body and distinctive fins. This illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights the importance of natural history and zoology during that era. It reflects Europe's fascination with exploring nature's wonders and understanding different species. As we admire this remarkable piece from the early 1900s, we are reminded of how art can be used as a powerful tool for education and appreciation for our natural world.
