EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hyena, 1850" showcases the artistic talent of Louis Simon Lassalle. Measuring 18x12 cm, this print is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" by Mrs. Louise Leneveux. Published in Paris in 1850 by Mrs Veuve Louis Janet, this educational book aimed to teach children about animals through vivid illustrations. The book contained 16 lithographs drawn by Lassalle himself, along with numerous vignettes on wood. Lassalle's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of the hyena. With meticulous precision, he captures the essence of this fascinating creature known for its distinctive appearance and haunting laughter-like vocalizations. The engraving not only serves as an aesthetic piece but also provides valuable insights into natural history and zoology during the early nineteenth century. It reflects Europe's growing interest in scientific exploration and education during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from the past, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and continue to educate and inspire generations to come. This particular print offers a glimpse into both artistic mastery and scientific curiosity—a true testament to Lassalle's skill as an engraver and his contribution to our understanding of the animal kingdom.
