EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a wood engraving titled "Letter X and Y as yendurot (huron). Alphabet of monkeys". Created by the French School in the 19th century, this piece is part of an abecedary series consisting of 24 stencilled engravings. The dimensions of this particular artwork are 14.5x9.5cm, and it currently resides in a private collection. The engraving itself depicts two monkeys representing the letters X and Y, with their anthropomorphic features adding a touch of whimsy to the composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate lines and textures that bring these playful creatures to life. Dating back to 1863, this image offers us a glimpse into both artistic techniques and cultural representations from that era. It reflects how civilization has long been fascinated by animal symbolism and its connection to human characteristics. Furthermore, this wood engraving specifically references Native American culture through its mention of "yendurot" - a term associated with the Huron tribe. This inclusion highlights early interactions between European settlers and indigenous populations in North America. Overall, Jean Duvallon's work serves as not only an alphabet guide but also as a testament to historical exploration, anthropomorphism, and cross-cultural encounters during the 19th century.
