EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "E F: Squirrel -- Pheasant, 1850" is a remarkable piece of art by Louis Simon Lassalle. Measuring 18x12 cm, this print is part of the private collection and showcases the artist's talent in capturing the beauty of nature. The artwork originally appeared in "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" by Mrs. Louise Leneveux (Marie-Louise Pignot), an alphabet primer published in Paris in 1850. It features 16 lithographs drawn by Lassalle, including this stunning depiction of a squirrel and pheasant. The book aimed to educate readers about various animals found within the garden through beautiful illustrations like this one. Lassalle's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays both creatures with precision and grace. The squirrel perches on a branch while curiously observing its surroundings, while the pheasant stands proudly nearby, showcasing its vibrant plumage. This engraving not only serves as a testament to Lassalle's artistic abilities but also highlights the importance of education and natural history during that era. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate these magnificent animals from France's rich wildlife heritage. As we admire this exquisite print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to the early nineteenth century when zoology played a significant role in expanding our understanding of the natural world.
