EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Changeur; Money-changer; Geldwechsler" takes us back to 19th century Europe, offering a glimpse into the world of money-changing. The detailed illustration showcases a profession that played a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce during this era. In the image, we see a knowledgeable money-changer at work, surrounded by various tools of his trade. Sitting behind a counter adorned with stacks of minted coins, he meticulously weighs them on balance scales to ensure accuracy in currency exchange. His expertise is evident as he consults a dictionary or book for reference while assisting customers. The scene captures the essence of bustling European streets, with bars and cafes lining the background. It transports us to an era where these establishments served as meeting places for business transactions and social gatherings alike. Created by an unknown European artist from Germany in the late 19th century, this engraving was part of Armand Le Brun's comprehensive language guidebook called "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels". This publication aimed to provide readers with everyday vocabulary in French, English, and German. Through this print, we are reminded of how historical artifacts like engravings can offer valuable insights into past professions and societal norms. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of Europe's rich cultural heritage during this period.
