This title page from the illustrated book *Les Fleurs Animées*, created by French artist J. J. Grandville in 1847, is a whimsical example of *anthropomorphism* in art. The title *Les Fleurs Animées*, which means "Animated Flowers," is depicted through the image as well, with the letters forming the title being made of flowers. The image also portrays a woman dancing on a giant leaf. Grandville, a well-known caricaturist, used his artistic talents to satirize political and social issues through his imagery. This title page is a great example of Grandville's unique artistic style, known for its fantastical elements and allegorical representations.
