EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "ALPHABET OF GROTESQUES U V X Y Z" from around 1890. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this unique illustration measures 16.5x11 cm and belongs to a private collection. The alphabet is depicted in an intriguingly grotesque manner, with each letter representing a different animal or creature. The letters U, V, X, Y, and Z are represented by Urson (a bear-like figure), Vulture (a bird of prey), Xe-Xe (an unknown creature), Barque (a boat-like entity), and Zebra respectively. This vintage piece serves as an educational tool for learning the alphabet while also showcasing anthropomorphism through its portrayal of animals in human attire. It reflects the artistic style prevalent during the late 19th century in France. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to each letter's design, making them come alive on paper. The inclusion of various wildlife species such as vultures and zebras further enhances the visual appeal of this artwork. Overall, this photograph offers a glimpse into early education practices while celebrating both artistry and nature. Its historical significance lies not only in its representation of alphabets but also as a testament to French creativity during that era.
