EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored steel engraving, titled "Flower Fairies of Tobacco, Everlasting, Olive, Marvel of Peru," is an exquisite example of the whimsical and satirical illustrative style of Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville, as featured in his renowned work "Les Fleurs Animees" published in Paris by Gabriel de Gonet in 1847. The image showcases a collection of fantastical flower fairies, each adorned with flora native to their respective namesakes. At the center, the "Flower Fairy of Tobacco" dons a headdress of tobacco leaves and smokes a cigar, while a snake coils around her waist, symbolizing the addictive nature of the plant. Nearby, the "Everlasting Fairy of Olive" wears a crown of olive leaves and holds a branch, representing the eternal and unyielding nature of the olive tree. The "Marvel of Peru Fairy" is depicted with a myrtle wreath, symbolizing love and victory, and a mischievous grin. The engraving also features a variety of other whimsical characters, including an "Old Rogue" fairy with a laurel wreath and a musketeer-inspired fairy with a tobacco pipe, adding to the satirical and playful tone of the artwork. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this handcolored steel engraving make it a stunning addition to any collection of historical and whimsical art, offering a glimpse into the rich history and imagination of the 19th century.
