EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Unau, 1850" showcases the exquisite talent of Louis Simon Lassalle (Cabaillot-Lassalle), a renowned French engraver from the 19th century. Measuring 18x12 cm, this delicate print is part of a private collection. The artwork originates from "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" an educational publication by Mrs. Louise Leneveux (Marie-Louise Pignot) in collaboration with Lassalle. Published in Paris in 1850 by Mrs Veuve Louis Janet, this alphabet primer features fascinating illustrations that bring to life various animals found within the Jardin des Plantes. Lassalle's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of the Unau, also known as a sloth. The intricate lines and shading beautifully capture the unique characteristics of this creature known for its slow movements and arboreal lifestyle. This engraving not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also holds educational value, contributing to the field of natural history and zoology during that era. It exemplifies how art can be used as a tool for educating individuals about different species and their habitats. With its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both French culture and scientific exploration during the late nineteenth century. As we admire this remarkable piece today, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to inspire curiosity about our natural world.
