EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the Franco-Flemish alphabet, a masterpiece of coloured woodblock engraving from the 19th century. The Belgian School artist behind this intricate work has beautifully depicted a wide array of animals, each representing a letter in both French and Flemish languages. As we delve into this enchanting scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to a cleverly portrayed dog engrossed in reading. Surrounding him are various creatures such as beasts, wolves, apes, nightingales, gorillas, lions, deer and donkeys - all engaged in their own educational pursuits. The fusion of these diverse animals symbolizes the power of language as an essential tool for communication across species. From the majestic horse to the mischievous monkey and even the humble pig; they all participate eagerly in expanding their linguistic horizons. A sense of wonderment fills the air as children observe this magical gathering. They witness how letters come alive through these animated beings while gaining valuable knowledge about different languages. Intriguing elements like Jocco - a mythical creature with its walking stick or cane - add an element of mystery to this already fantastical composition. Meanwhile, farm animals coexist harmoniously with wild creatures like she-wolves and roe deer – reminding us that language transcends boundaries between domesticated livestock and untamed wildlife. With its rich symbolism and educational undertones, this Franco-Flemish alphabet print serves as an enduring testament to humanity's quest for knowledge and understanding across cultures throughout
