"Duvallon: A Master of the Forge and a Lion's Blessing" In the enchanting world of childhood imagery, Duvallon emerges as a blacksmith extraordinaire. Captured in an exquisite engraving from Imagier de l'enfance circa 1900, his skillful hands shape molten metal into works of art that ignite young imaginations. As we delve deeper into this whimsical realm, we witness Les jeunes lionceaux receiving the benevolent blessing of their majestic king. In this captivating scene, Duvallon's craftsmanship takes center stage once again, as he forges regal crowns fit for these noble cubs. Moving on to Alphabet masquerade, we encounter Jocrisse through an intricate engraving. This mischievous character adds a touch of playfulness to our journey with Duvallon. The alphabet unfolds before us with Italian elegance, Japanese gracefulness, Kurdish mystique, and Lapland charm—all brought to life by Duvallon's masterful engravings. The Alphabet of famous women introduces us to remarkable female figures from history—an ode to their achievements and contributions. Here too, Duvallon's talent shines brightly as he immortalizes these inspiring icons in his engravings. Within The Great Baby Alphabet chromo collection from c. 1900 lies the letter A—a delightful portrayal of two little girls immersed in reading adventures crafted by none other than our beloved blacksmith himself. Venturing further into nature's wonders depicted through engravings from the 19th century series "Alphabet illustrates animals, " we encounter creatures both familiar and exotic. From Hippopotamus to Brown Bear and Polar Bears—each intricately engraved by Duvallon—we are transported into a wild menagerie where every animal comes alive within our imagination. Amongst them stands Cat—the epitome of feline grace captured flawlessly by Duvallon’s skilled handiwork.
