EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Amulette; Amulet" takes us on a journey back to the 19th century. Created by an unknown European School artist, this engraving is part of a private collection that showcases the fascinating world of amulets and talismans. The illustration was originally featured in Armand Le Brun's renowned book, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published around 1873. This comprehensive dictionary aimed to provide readers with knowledge about everyday words in French, English, and German. In this particular image, we are introduced to various protective amulets from different cultures. The intricate details highlight their significance as objects believed to possess supernatural powers capable of warding off evil spirits or bringing good luck. As we delve deeper into the engraving's composition, we notice symbols representing superstition and beliefs prevalent during that era. From England's rich folklore traditions to Germany's northern regions steeped in ancient customs, these amulets offer glimpses into diverse cultural practices across Europe. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into historical knowledge and general understanding. It reminds us of how dictionaries have evolved over time – from simple word definitions to beautifully illustrated textbooks like Le Brun's masterpiece. With its blend of artistry and educational value, this enchanting piece transports us back in time while igniting our curiosity about the vast tapestry of human beliefs throughout history.
