EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the letter Q depicted in three different forms - as a quatter, quenquot, and cattail. The image is part of a small encyclopedic alphabet collection from the 19th century, specifically an imaging of Epinal dating back to circa 1860. Created through wood engraving and stencilled with gilding, this piece measures approximately 37.8x50.3cm and belongs to a private collection. The intricate details of this artwork are truly mesmerizing. The letter Q takes on various shapes, each representing unique elements such as spinning wheels and plants like cattails. It serves as a reminder of the rich history behind alphabets and their evolution over time. The lighting in this photograph beautifully highlights the delicate features of the engraving while adding depth to its overall composition. A young girl can be seen observing the artwork, perhaps captivated by its beauty or intrigued by its educational value. This piece also symbolizes themes such as wealth, lamp (representing knowledge), charity (through education), quest for learning, distaff (a tool used in spinning), and even references to ABCs and alphabets themselves. Overall, this print by Jean Duvallon captures both artistic brilliance and historical significance within its frame – making it an intriguing addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
