EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Castor; Beaver; Biber" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was captured in beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection and showcases a beaver, known as "Castor" in French and "Biber" in German. Originally featured in Armand Le Brun's book, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet & Cie. , this engraving exemplifies the era's fascination with nature and education. The intricate details of the beaver's fur and its distinctive features are meticulously depicted through delicate lines etched into paper. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to an age where textbooks were not only sources of information but also works of art. This print serves as a testament to the importance placed on expanding one's vocabulary across different languages during that time. The inclusion of three language translations - French, English, and German - emphasizes the desire for cross-cultural understanding prevalent during the late 19th century. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people recognized the value of communication beyond borders. Today, this enchanting engraving continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance while reminding us of our innate curiosity about wildlife and our constant pursuit of knowledge.
