EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Letter E: scale, c.1920 transports us back to a bygone era, where the intricate details of an alphabet illustration come to life. The image is part of "The alphabet of Mimi" series, featuring illustrations by J.M. Porta that are both charming and educational. In this particular scene, we see a child perched on top of a balance scale, surrounded by lush fruit trees laden with cherries. The symbolism is rich - from the concept of weighing scales representing balance and fairness, to the temptation of indulging in gluttony as depicted by the abundance of cherries. The engraving style adds a touch of nostalgia to the composition, evoking feelings of warmth and innocence that are characteristic of early 20th-century art. The French countryside setting further enhances the whimsical charm of this piece. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded not only of the importance of learning our ABCs but also the timeless themes it explores - from childhood curiosity to moral lessons about greed and excess. Overall, this print serves as a delightful window into a world where imagination knows no bounds and every letter tells its own unique story.
