EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Douanier; Custom-house officer; Zollbeamte (engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century European customs and trade. This print, created by the European School in the late 19th century, showcases a scene filled with knowledge and cultural exchange. Set against a picturesque pier in a bustling port, we see a custom-house officer diligently inspecting barrels carried by sailors. The black and white illustration adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from history. It is part of Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands - an illustrated dictionary that aimed to bridge linguistic gaps between French, English, and German speakers. The engraving beautifully depicts the intricate details of the custom house and its surroundings. As ships dock at the wharf and pontoons line the harbor wall, it becomes evident that this location served as a vital hub for international trade. This artwork not only offers insight into customs procedures but also serves as a reminder of Europe's interconnectedness during this era. With references to Germany, England (Great Britain), France, and even Europe as a whole through its map imagery – it symbolizes unity amidst diversity. As we admire this historical piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness how dictionaries like these played an essential role in fostering understanding across borders.
