EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving from 1875, titled "Letter S: Monkeys, Satyr, Serpent". Created by the French School in the 19th century, this artwork measures 31x22 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image forms part of an alphabet series achieved through printing on November 15,1875 by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre, a renowned bookseller based in Paris. The intricate details of this engraving were skillfully executed by Alfred Prunaire, born in 1837. The composition features various elements associated with the letter 'S, ' including monkeys playfully interacting with each other and a satyr - an imaginary character from Greek mythology. However, it is the presence of a sinuous serpent that truly captivates our attention. This reptile symbolizes both danger and wisdom throughout history and adds an intriguing touch to the artwork. Through this enchanting piece, we are transported back to childhood memories filled with fascination for animals and learning the alphabet. The artist's mastery shines through as he brings these creatures to life on paper. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this timeless artwork by eDuvallon for all art enthusiasts to admire. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving today, we can appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its enduring beauty.
