EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Doreur; Gilder; Vergolder" takes us back to the 19th century. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this print is part of a private collection and showcases the skilled professions of doreur (gilder) and vergolder (gold leaf specialist). The artwork was originally featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. , published around 1873. This illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. With intricate details and precision, the engraver beautifully captures the essence of these craftsmen at work. The image transports us to a time when gilding techniques were highly valued for their ability to add opulence and elegance to various objects. As we delve into this historical piece, it reminds us of the importance of knowledge and general awareness. It serves as a testament to how dictionaries have long been cherished sources of information across different cultures. Through its portrayal of these specialized tradesmen from Germany – one among many European nations represented in this volume – this engraving also highlights the interconnectedness within Europe during that era. Overall, this print offers both aesthetic pleasure and insight into past practices while serving as a reminder that learning has always been an essential part of human progress.
