EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Corniche; Cornice; Karniesz" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when knowledge was expanding rapidly. The engraving, created by the European School, is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration for Armand Le Brun's renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands". The image depicts three ordinary words - corniche, cornice, and karniesz - beautifully illustrated in intricate detail. These illustrations were intended to enhance readers' understanding of these words in French, English, and German. As we delve into this piece of history through the lens of artistry and education combined, we are reminded of the importance placed on dictionaries during that era. Textbooks like Le Brun's played a vital role in expanding general knowledge across Europe. The print also serves as a visual representation of cultural exchange between countries such as Germany (where it was created), England (where it was published), and France (the subject matter). It reflects how language transcends borders and unites people from different corners of Europe. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into the intellectual pursuits of the 19th century while celebrating linguistic diversity within Europe. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for knowledge throughout history.
