EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Bouche (d egout); Gully-hole; Mundloch (eines abflusses)" takes us back to the 19th century in Europe. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an anonymous European School artist. The illustration originates from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this dictionary aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. In this particular print, we are presented with a visual representation of various terms related to urban infrastructure. The focus lies on the depiction of a sewer gully-hole or bouche d'égout in French. This essential element of city hygiene is showcased alongside its German equivalent Mundloch eines Abflusses. The intricate details captured within the engraving showcase the artist's skillful craftsmanship. From the cobblestone sidewalk to surrounding buildings and street elements - every aspect adds depth and realism to this historical scene. As we observe this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how knowledge was disseminated during that era through illustrated dictionaries like these. It also highlights the importance placed on public health and sanitation systems at that time. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into both artistic techniques prevalent during the 19th century as well as societal concerns regarding urban development and hygiene practices across Europe.
