EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "Capucine" a character brought to life from the renowned series Les Fleurs Animees (Animated Flowers) by Charles-Michel Geoffroy. Created between 1820 and 1870, this hand-colored wood engraving with lithography transports us back to the enchanting world of French caricature and satire. Intricately detailed and bursting with vibrant colors, Capucine stands as a playful embodiment of nature's hidden wit. The artist's skillful use of lithotint brings out every delicate leaf and petal, while the hand tinted elements add an extra layer of charm to this whimsical creation.

This unique blend invites viewers to reflect on human follies while marveling at nature's intricate beauty. As we admire Capucine's graceful pose and mischievous expression, we are transported into a world where plants become animated personalities full of personality and humor. This extraordinary
