EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "M : Marcassin - Alphabet of the wild animals, 1876" takes us back to the enchanting world of French wildlife in the 19th century. Created by an anonymous artist from the French School, this engraving measures 27.5x20 cm and is now part of a private collection. The image showcases a young marcassin, or wild boar piglet, which is beautifully captured in intricate detail. The engraving skillfully portrays the texture of its fur and delicate facial features, allowing us to appreciate the natural beauty of this animal. This artwork was published as part of an alphabet series featuring various wild animals. It served not only as a visual delight but also as an educational tool for children learning their ABCs. Each letter corresponded to a different creature found in nature, making it both informative and visually appealing. Imprinted by Imprimerie Olivier-Pinot and edited in Epinal (Vosges), this piece represents a significant moment in French history when natural sciences were gaining prominence. Its inclusion in historical archives reflects its cultural significance and enduring value. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still admire this remarkable engraving today. As it falls under public domain rights due to its age, it continues to inspire art enthusiasts around the world with its timeless charm and artistic excellence.
