EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving features the letters G, H, and I from "Le livre d'images, Nouveau alphabet ou Alphabet pour petits garcons". The intricate details of the engravings showcase three unique subjects: Glutton, Hippopotamus, and Isatis.
The letter G is represented by a whimsical illustration of a gluttonous character. His exaggerated features and comical expression bring this letter to life in a playful way. Moving on to the letter H, we see a majestic hippopotamus depicted with precision and grace. The artist has captured the essence of this powerful animal in stunning detail.
Lastly, the letter I is accompanied by an image of Isatis - perhaps a plant or flower that adds an element of botanical beauty to this collection. Each engraving tells its own story and invites viewers to explore the world of alphabets through art.
This print is not just a simple educational tool but also a work of art that showcases the talent and creativity of 19th-century illustrators. The collaboration between Emile Guerin as editor and Hercules Catenacci along with Adolphe-Francois Pannemaker as engravers has resulted in a truly remarkable piece that continues to captivate audiences today.
