EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1861 titled "Letter L: Ah! I cut myself! But what can I see, o heaven!" by Louis Gustave Fortune Ratisbonne, under the pseudonym Trim, is a whimsical and satirical take on the alphabet. The image features a man with a surprised expression holding a razor in one hand and his bleeding arm in the other, forming the letter L three times.
The intricate details of this piece showcase not only Ratisbonne's skill as an engraver but also his clever sense of humor. The combination of beauty products like mirrors and linen with elements of personal hygiene like razors adds depth to the scene, creating a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on society's obsession with appearance.
As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century France, where education and childhood were intertwined with satire and surprise. The use of satire in this piece serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks like shaving can be turned into moments of amazement and wonder.
Overall, this print is not just an alphabet illustration but a reflection of societal norms and expectations during that time period. It challenges us to look beyond the surface and find joy in unexpected places.
