The letter T echoes in my mind: Tulip, Taurus, Toreador, Turtle, Drum; U brings forth Urania, Urn, Unau - lazy indeed. Engraved in an exquisite 'Alphabet' by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre in 1875 Paris. In another scene from 'Les animaux en train de plaisir', M. Latrompe crushes M. Lion's tail while he cries out peacock. A captivating illustration by J. Jacquin and G. H. Thompson for Hachette et Cie in 1885 Paris. And alas. The crocodile has already raised the anchor. Their miserable expressions captured forever within the pages of this children's book. A window becomes a stage where one pushes and crashes into it - a comical moment depicted in 'Les animaux en train de plaisir'. Once again brought to life through J. Jacquin's words and G. H. Thompson's drawings for Hachette et Cie in 1885 Paris. The fox and donkey join forces with other animals as they embark on their adventures - illustrations from a French Alphabet Book of 1814 come alive before our eyes.

From large tortoiseshells to small ones and even commas adorning their shells - these turtles showcase nature's artistic touch.
