EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "S T: Snake -- Tiger, 1850" is a remarkable piece of art created by Louis Simon Lassalle. Measuring 18x12 cm, this print showcases the intricate details of a Bengal tiger confronting a snake in an educational setting. Originally featured in the "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" by Mrs. Louise Leneveux, this engraving was part of an alphabet primer that aimed to educate readers about various animals found in the natural world. Illustrated with precision by Lassalle himself, this artwork captures the essence of both creatures - the majestic power and grace of the tiger juxtaposed against the sinuous nature of the snake. The composition exudes a sense of tension and curiosity as these two formidable beings face each other. It serves as a reminder not only of their inherent beauty but also their significance within zoology and natural history. Dating back to the 19th century, this print holds historical value while still resonating with contemporary audiences due to its timeless subject matter. The fine craftsmanship displayed through Lassalle's engravings highlights his skill as an artist and engraver. Now preserved in a private collection, this photograph taken by Duvallon allows us to appreciate every delicate line etched into paper over centuries ago. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to that era when education met artistry in perfect harmony.
