EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Kamichi, 1850" is a remarkable piece of art created by Louis Simon Lassalle. Measuring 18x12 cm, this print showcases the beauty and intricacy of nature during the 19th century. The artwork was featured in "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" a publication by Mrs. Louise Leneveux (Marie-Louise Pignot) in 1850. This educational book aimed to teach children about various animals found in the garden through vivid illustrations like this one. Lassalle's talent as an engraver shines through in his depiction of the Kamichi bird. The fine details and delicate lines bring this zoological specimen to life on paper. The Kamichi, also known as Jabiru or Tuiuiú, is native to South America and has long been admired for its elegant appearance. This enchanting print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of Lassalle and the importance of education through visual representation. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing engraving from the late nineteenth century, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how art can bridge gaps between different fields such as natural history and aesthetics.
