This engraving from 1892 showcases a plate of capital letters in a picturesque alphabet, designed to educate and inform. The intricate details of each letter are beautifully captured in this color wood engraving, making it both visually appealing and educational. The bookshop scene depicted in the background adds a charming touch to the composition, hinting at the importance of learning and literacy during that time period.

Overall, this enchanting engraving serves as a reminder of the power and beauty inherent in language and education. It is a testament to our enduring quest for knowledge and understanding, transcending time and space with its timeless appeal.
