EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful hand-coloured copperplate engraving, titled "Mother Teaching Her Child to Write" is an exquisite depiction of the tender moment of maternal instruction from Augustin Legrand's "Amour et Tendresse" (Love and Tenderness) series, published in Paris in 1820 by Louis Janet. The image captures the intimate scene of a mother and her young child seated at a writing desk, with the mother gently guiding her child's hand as she learns to form letters with a quill pen and ink. The ecritoire, or writing desk, is adorned with intricate carvings and a delicate tablecloth, adding an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. The mother's expression is one of patience, love, and pride, while the child's gaze is focused intently on the task at hand. The use of warm, earthy tones in the hand-coloring adds to the image's charm and creates a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the special bond between a mother and her child. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of the mother's dress to the delicate quill pen, make it a beautiful work of art that can be treasured for generations.
