EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the letter K in an enchanting alphabet masquerade. Created in the second half of the 19th century, this engraving is part of a collection called "Alphabet masquerade" by French School. The intricate details and craftsmanship are evident as each illuminated letter comes to life on the page. The specific focus here is on the letter K, which represents Kilolitre. This measurement unit holds great significance, especially when it comes to alcohol production and grapevine cultivation. The presence of a glass jug and barrel alludes to its connection with alcoholism and observation. The image also captures elements of childhood carnival festivities, as seen through the inclusion of costumes, scarves, and derision. It transports us back to a time when playful disguising was celebrated. Printed using lithography techniques by Pinot et Sagaire editors from Epinal, this artwork exemplifies their mastery in printing techniques during that era. The dimensions of 40.5x28cm make it an impressive piece that commands attention. Preserved in a private collection today, this photograph taken by Jean Duvallon offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of the importance of weight and measurement systems within society. Overall, this print beautifully encapsulates various themes such as artistry, culture, childhood memories, and historical context - making it an intriguing addition for any fine art enthusiast or collector's repertoire.
