EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of the letter S from the "ABC. Alphabet of good advice and mistakes to avoid" series is a true work of art. The engraving depicts the concept that wisdom is a rare treasure that must be sought after and conquered, while foolishness, or sottise in French, serves as its rival. Created by Ch. (Charles) Ramel et Cie in Paris around 1919, this piece is not only visually stunning but also carries a powerful message about moral values.
Illustrated by Henri Gray (Henri Boulanger), a talented artist known for his intricate and thought-provoking works, this engraving captures the essence of the eternal struggle between wisdom and folly. The detailed craftsmanship and symbolism in this piece make it a valuable addition to any collection.
Measuring at 24 x 32 cm, this print is part of a larger 52-page album dedicated to exploring important life lessons through visual storytelling. It serves as a reminder to always strive for wisdom and steer clear of foolish choices that may lead us astray.
Overall, this print beautifully encapsulates the timeless theme of seeking knowledge over ignorance, making it an inspiring piece for anyone looking to adorn their space with both beauty and meaning.
