EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the letter M from the "Alphabet masquerade" series, a remarkable collection of engravings created in the second half of the 19th century. Titled "Maritorne" this particular engraving is a testament to French creativity and artistic expression during that era. The image depicts a fascinating scene featuring an apron-clad girl dressed in a transvestite costume, evoking curiosity and intrigue. The kitchen setting adds an element of domesticity, while the inclusion of various accessories and footwear enhances the overall composition. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this engraving captures the essence of childhood carnival festivities. Each illuminated letter within this series holds its own unique charm, making it an enchanting piece for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. Printed using lithography by Pinot et Sagaire, renowned editors based in Epinal at that time, this artwork exemplifies their commitment to producing high-quality prints. Measuring 40.5x28cm, it is part of a larger plate (NAa 491) containing 25 exquisite letters. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph was taken by Jean Duvallon whose exceptional skills have brought out every nuance and subtlety present in this extraordinary piece. With no copyright restrictions attached to it anymore, we can appreciate and admire this masterpiece freely as an emblematic representation of French artistry from yesteryears.
