EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ovaire d Oiseau" takes us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and historical significance. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an anonymous French School artist. The print showcases an egg from a bird's ovary, specifically that of a hen. It was originally featured as an illustration in the renowned Dictionnaire Francais Illustre des Mots et des Choses by MM Larive et Fleury in 1888. This publication aimed to provide readers with comprehensive knowledge about various subjects, including nature and wildlife. The image highlights the importance of eggs as a vital food supply during this era. Eggs were not only consumed for sustenance but also played a significant role in culinary traditions and recipes. Furthermore, they symbolize new life and fertility within the animal kingdom. Intriguingly, this engraving offers us insight into the world of birds, particularly sea birds like hens or chickens found on farms. These farm animals were crucial for their meat production as well as providing eggs for human consumption. With its meticulous attention to detail, this historic artwork transports us back to a time when agriculture played an essential role in society's survival. Through this print, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating engravings during the 19th century and gain knowledge about our ancestors' reliance on animals for sustenance.
