EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the false title of the book "Alphabet" printed on 15 November 1875 by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre, a renowned bookseller-publisher in Paris. The intricate engraving work was skillfully executed by Alfred Prunaire, an artist whose birth and death dates remain unknown. With its dimensions measuring 31x22cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection. The image itself transports us to a world filled with imagination and wonder. A young child sits engrossed in reading, surrounded by various elements that capture the essence of childhood. A horse stands nearby while an armed soldier holds a crossbow, symbolizing adventure and playfulness. Intriguingly, there is also a sense of discipline present as another figure wields a cudgel as punishment. This juxtaposition between innocence and authority adds depth to the composition. The scene takes place against the backdrop of Brittany's picturesque landscape, showcasing its distinctive culture through traditional costumes worn by some characters. A tambourine-playing doll adds musicality to this enchanting tableau. Overall, this print evokes nostalgia for simpler times when books were cherished companions during childhood exploration. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact from the 19th century – capturing moments that transcend time and reminding us of our shared human experiences across generations.
