EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Bascule (jeu); See-saw; Schaukel" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of knowledge and playfulness. The engraving, created by the European School, showcases a see-saw or bascule game, beautifully illustrating its name in French, English, and German. Part of the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" this engraving was featured in an illustrated dictionary compiled by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, it aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in three languages. The image transports us to an era when dictionaries were cherished sources of information and learning. It reminds us of the importance placed on language acquisition during that time period. With Germany as its backdrop, this artwork also offers insight into Northern Europe's cultural heritage. The intricate details capture both the essence of childhood joy found on playgrounds across nations and the linguistic diversity present within Europe itself. As we gaze upon this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of our thirst for knowledge but also how art can bridge gaps between cultures and languages. This print serves as a testament to humanity's continuous pursuit of understanding throughout history.
