EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Affineur; Wire-drawer; Drahtzieher" by the European School from the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Armand Le Brun et al's renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published around 1873. The image depicts three skilled craftsmen - an affineur (cheese refiner), a wire-drawer, and a drahtzieher (wire-puller) - each representing their respective trades. This beautifully detailed engraving offers insight into the craft industry during this era and highlights the importance of knowledge and expertise in various fields. The artwork also symbolizes cultural exchange as it features words in French, English, and German languages. It serves as an illustrated dictionary that provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday terms across these three languages. With its historical significance and artistic finesse, this print transports viewers back to the late 19th century when guilds played a vital role in shaping Europe's craftsmanship traditions. It reminds us of the meticulous handiwork involved in producing high-quality goods during that time. Overall, this print not only captures the beauty of European craftsmanship but also acts as a window into history by showcasing linguistic diversity and cultural exchange within Europe.
