EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1911, part of the "Alphabet Buffon" series, showcases a whimsical illustration of a sea calf (seal) in all its glory. Created by a collective of talented cartoonists and engravers under the direction of Paul Bernardin, this piece is a true testament to the creativity and artistry of early 20th-century France. Measuring at 29.5x21.5 cm, this enchanting image captures the essence of the seal as it gracefully navigates through icy waters on a floe. The intricate details and delicate lines bring this marine creature to life, making it seem almost tangible to the viewer. The "Alphabet Buffon" series was published by Paul Bernardin, a renowned bookseller-publisher based in Paris at that time. Consisting of 16 pages filled with charming illustrations like this one, these engravings were meant to entertain and educate readers about various animals in an engaging way. Now housed in a private collection, this particular print serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that thrived during the early 20th century in Europe. It is not just an illustration but also a piece of history that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and beauty.
