1847

About the Item

Image dimensions: 24.3 x 17.5 cm. Single sheet with passepartout. "This is a chapter which we dread to begin. We do not like errata. It is easy to commence, but not so easy to leave off." T. Delord. Les Fleurs animées is a work published by Gabriel de Gonet in 1847 in two volumes. The illustrations of this book (52 steel engraved, hand colored plates) are by the French cartoonist J.J. Grandville, the text is by Taxtile Delord, while the introduction is by Alphonse Karr. In all the illustrations there are the images of women as flowers personified, clothed in courtly fashions blended with petals and leaves. From all the joys and the sorrows of each personified flower, moral lessons are taught. "Happy they who love flowers! Happy, indeed, if they love flowers alone!" A. Karr.

  • Sergeant Infantry - Lithograph by A. Dunoyer de Segonzac - Early 20th Century
    By André Dunoyer de Segonzac
    Located in Roma, IT
    Sergeant Infantry Trenches is a Vintage Offset and Lithograph print realized by Dunoyer de Segonzac. The artwork is in good condition on a yellowed paper. Stamp signed and Titled on the lower margin. André Dunoyer de Segonzac (7 July 1884 – 17 September 1974) was a French painter and graphic artist. The gossamer quality of his etchings stood in contrast to the thickly painted surfaces and generally somber color of his oil paintings, which reflected his admiration for Courbet and Cézanne. His subjects include landscapes, still lifes, and nudes. He influenced other artists like Samuel Peploe.
