EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 features the words Echelle, Fagot, Guignol and Hymen, part of a unique reading method and photographic alphabet created by Henri Manuel. The image is taken from "To learn to read," a publication by Librairie Felix Juven in Paris that aimed to teach children how to read using visual aids. Measuring 31.5 x 25 cm, this piece is not only educational but also visually striking with its colorful wood letters against a wooden background. The vintage aesthetic transports us back to the early twentieth century when learning was done through traditional methods like books and wooden toys. The inclusion of the words Guignol and Hymen adds an element of playfulness and whimsy to the composition, hinting at puppetry and marriage symbolism. This hints at the diverse range of subjects covered in this innovative teaching tool. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of simpler times when education was cherished and creativity flourished. It captures the essence of childhood innocence and curiosity while showcasing the beauty of French culture in the early 1900s. A true masterpiece that continues to inspire learners even today.
