EDITORS COMMENTS
. This illustration, taken from the children's book "Les animaux en train de plaisir" by J. Jacquin and beautifully drawn by G. H. Thompson, transports us to a whimsical world of anthropomorphic animals. In this scene, we witness a comical predicament as the crocodile mischievously raises the anchor while an array of animals helplessly watch on with dismay. Their expressions of surprise and disappointment are wonderfully captured by Thompson's skilled hand. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring each character to life, from the tawny lion to the graceful giraffe and even the tiny turtle perched atop luggage. French literature enthusiasts will delight in recognizing familiar animal characters such as bears, foxes, birds, and elephants among others. This enchanting 1885 edition published by Hachette et Cie in Paris is part of the esteemed Selva Collection curated by Leonard de Selva. It showcases not only the artistic talent of Thompson but also highlights France's rich literary tradition for children. As we gaze upon this delightful print, we can't help but imagine ourselves immersed in these animal tales filled with adventure and mischief. It serves as a timeless reminder that even when faced with unexpected challenges or missed opportunities like our friends here, there is always room for laughter and joy in our lives.
