EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for 'Alphabet of good examples'", transports us back to the late 19th century. Measuring 18.5x16.2 cm, this print by Henri Gray showcases his exceptional talent as an illustrator. The artwork is part of a larger collection known as the "Alphabet of good examples" published around 1890 by Jules Levy. Each image in this collection features a letter from the alphabet accompanied by an illustrious word that begins with that letter. In this particular illustration, we are presented with the letter P. The artist has beautifully depicted various elements associated with this letter: Priere (prayer), Poisson (fish), Polichinelle (Pulcinella - a character from commedia dell'arte), Papillon (butterfly), Thought, Pomme (apple), and Put. Henri Gray's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving, from the delicate lines used to create each element to the intricate textures found within them. The composition exudes a sense of spirituality and innocence, making it particularly appealing to children. The collaboration between Henri Gray and Mrs. P. Boulanger brings together artistry and poetry seamlessly in these illustrations. Charles Gillot's expertise in engraving and printing further enhances their beauty. This remarkable piece now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. It serves as a testament not only to Gray's artistic prowess but also to the rich cultural heritage of France during that period. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and language barriers while evoking emotions and sparking our imagination.
