EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "M N O P: Nilgaut sheep (antelope) Pig seal, 1901" takes us back to the early twentieth century. The illustration, created by Paul Magne de la Croix in 1901, is part of an alphabet primer called "ABC of animals". Published by Emile Guerin in Paris, this educational book aimed to teach children about various animals. The image showcases a unique combination of creatures starting with the letters M, N, O, and P. On the left side stands a majestic Nilgaut sheep or antelope with its distinctive horns. Beside it is a charming pig surrounded by an air of innocence. On the right side rests a marine mammal known as a seal or sea lion. The artist's attention to detail brings these animals to life on paper. Each stroke captures their essence and highlights their individual characteristics. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also offers valuable insight into zoology and natural history. Measuring 27 x 22 cm, this vintage illustration holds historical significance as it represents France's contribution to education during that era. It reminds us of simpler times when learning was facilitated through beautifully illustrated books like this one. Preserved in private collection today, this photograph allows us to appreciate the artistry and educational value embedded within its frame. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and continues to inspire curiosity about the animal kingdom among viewers even after more than a century has passed since its creation.
