EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Coq; Cock; Hahn" takes us back to the 19th century, where knowledge was beautifully captured in print. Created by the European School, this illustration is part of a private collection and showcases a rooster, commonly known as a coq or cock. Originally featured in Armand Le Brun's book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published around 1873, this engraving aimed to educate readers on ordinary words in French, English, and German. The intricate details of the rooster's feathers and proud stance demonstrate the skillful artistry of the era. As we delve into this piece from Fine Art Finder's archives, we are transported to an age when dictionaries were not only sources of information but also works of art. This print serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like books can be transformed into visual delights. The image represents more than just a bird; it symbolizes cultural exchange between nations during a time when Europe was undergoing significant changes. From Germany to England and France, these countries united through language exploration and shared knowledge. Whether you appreciate ornithology or have an interest in historical linguistics, this engraving offers both aesthetic pleasure and intellectual curiosity. It invites us to explore the past while celebrating our collective human pursuit of understanding.
