EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from the "Alphabet" series, specifically focusing on the letter U. Created by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre, a renowned bookseller-publisher in Paris, this piece was finished printing on November 15th, 1875. The intricate and detailed engraving was skillfully executed by Alfred Prunaire. The letter U is beautifully represented through three distinct elements: Uranie, Urn, and Unau (lazy). Each element holds its own symbolic significance within the composition. Uranie represents astronomy with her celestial globe and compass in hand, while the urn symbolizes ceramics and craftsmanship. Lastly, the unau or lazy sloth adds a touch of whimsy to this allegorical representation. Measuring at 31x22cm with a total of 36 pages, this exquisite piece belongs to a private collection. Its historical value is further enhanced by its association with childhood education as part of an alphabet series. The print captures every detail of Prunaire's masterful engraving technique. It highlights not only his artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France during the late nineteenth century. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable artwork from the nineteenth century for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and admire today.
