EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Cigale; Grasshopper; Grille" transports us to the 19th century with its intricate details and historical significance. Created by the European School, this print is a part of a private collection. The image showcases three elements: the cigale (cicada), grasshopper, and grille (grill). It was originally intended as an illustration for "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. , published around 1873. This fascinating dictionary aimed to educate readers on ordinary words in French, English, and German. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. The delicate lines bring life to each insect depicted - from the elegant wings of the cigale to the slender legs of the grasshopper. The composition exudes a sense of realism that captivates viewers. This artwork not only serves as an educational tool but also offers a glimpse into 19th-century Europe. Its presence evokes thoughts about knowledge acquisition during that time period when dictionaries were treasured resources for expanding one's vocabulary. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and provide us with insights into different eras and cultures.
