The print titled "Aurora" is a steel engraving from 1878, based on an original work by J.L. Hamon and meticulously engraved by Lavasseur. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Aurora, who is the personification of dawn, standing gracefully amidst lush foliage. Aurora is portrayed as a young woman with flowing drapery, her head tilted upwards as if welcoming the first light of day. She holds a delicate flower to her nose, suggesting a moment of tranquility and connection with nature. The engraving captures the serene beauty of the goddess and her surroundings with intricate detail, showcasing the fine lines and shading characteristic of steel engravings from the late 19th century. The background features a variety of plants and a soft, ethereal sky, enhancing the peaceful and renewing atmosphere associated with the dawn. J.L. Hamon, the original artist, was known for his detailed and evocative works, often depicting mythological and allegorical themes with a romantic touch. Lavasseur, the engraver, was renowned for his precision and skill in translating original artworks into detailed engravings, preserving the essence and beauty of the original pieces.
