EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L for Washerwoman, 1920" takes us back to the enchanting world of early 20th-century Brittany. Illustrated by Catherine Josephine Marie Fricero, also known as Kate J. Fricero, this piece is part of the renowned "Alphabet des Petits Bretons" published by Hachette in Paris. Measuring at 31x24 cm, this illustration captures a young girl dressed in traditional Breton attire, holding a cruche (a jug) while standing next to a large basin filled with laundry. The image beautifully portrays the letter L from the alphabet series. The scene evokes a sense of nostalgia and simplicity as it showcases an important aspect of education during that era - learning through visual aids such as illustrated alphabets. This particular artwork not only teaches children about letters but also provides cultural insight into the daily life and customs of Brittany. The attention to detail in both costume and setting transports us to rural France where washerwomen were an integral part of society. The delicate lines and shading bring depth to each element within the composition, making it visually striking. Preserved in private collection today, this print serves as a testament to Fricero's talent as an illustrator and her contribution towards educating children through art. Fine Art Finder has brought forth this remarkable piece once again through their collaboration with Bridgeman Images, allowing viewers worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty.
