EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving from the 19th century alphabet book, created by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre, a renowned bookseller-publisher in Paris. The print features the letter T and U, beautifully illustrated with a collection of intriguing objects and concepts. The letter T is adorned with a vibrant tulip, representing the delicate beauty of nature. Alongside it stands the mighty Taurus, symbolizing strength and determination. A toreador captures our attention next, embodying bravery and skill in the bullfighting arena. A turtle adds a touch of whimsy to this composition while reminding us of patience and longevity. Lastly, a drum takes center stage as an emblem of rhythm and music. Moving on to the letter U, we are introduced to Urania, an allegorical figure representing astronomy and celestial knowledge. An urn signifies remembrance and reverence for those who have passed on. Curiously enough, we encounter an unau or lazy creature that sparks curiosity about its habits in nature. This enchanting engraving was meticulously crafted by Alfred Prunaire under Charles Unsinger's supervision. With its intricate details and rich symbolism, this piece invites viewers into a world where letters come alive through artistry. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it as well as glimpse into historical educational tools used during childhood in France during that time period.
