EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures the essence of French writer Edmond About, who lived from 1828 to 1885. Created by artist Alfred Le Petit in 1871, this cartoon depicts About as a delicate hydrangea flower, symbolizing his literary prowess and influence. The image is part of the renowned collection "Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables of the Day" by Le Petit. Le Petit's artistic style shines through in this piece, showcasing his talent for caricature and capturing the essence of his subjects. In this particular illustration, he portrays About with intricate detail and a touch of humor. The choice to depict him as a flower adds an element of femininity to the portrayal while also highlighting his delicate nature as a writer. Edmond About was a prominent figure in French literature during the late 19th century. Known for his wit and satirical writing style, he made significant contributions to both fiction and non-fiction genres. This print serves as a tribute to his literary achievements and offers viewers an insight into his persona. Stefano Bianchetti has preserved this historical artwork within their private collection, ensuring that it remains accessible for art enthusiasts around the world. As we admire this depiction of Edmond About transformed into L Hydrangea, we are reminded of the power that art holds in immortalizing influential figures throughout history.
