EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing a chromolithographed letter "A" featuring a mountaineer in an illustrated abecedary booklet from around 1920. Offered by "La Samaritaine de Nancy," this small booklet not only serves as a reading method but also provides a delightful recreational alphabet for children to learn from.
The vibrant colors and intricate details of the chromolithography bring the mountaineer to life, adding a sense of adventure and exploration to the traditional alphabet learning process. The dimenions of 17.5x13cm make it easy to hold and explore for young readers.
As we gaze upon this piece from a private collection, we are transported back in time to early 20th century France, where mountaineering was gaining popularity as both a sport and leisure activity. The casual yet detailed illustration of the mountaineer adds character and whimsy to this educational tool.
Overall, this print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a historical artifact that reflects the cultural interests and trends of its time. It reminds us of simpler days when learning was intertwined with creativity and imagination.
