This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Egout; Sewer; Abzugskanal" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when knowledge was sought after through illustrated dictionaries. The print showcases an illustration for Armand Le Brun et al's "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published by Furne, Jouvet in approximately 1873. The artwork depicts a detailed view of a sewer system or egout in French. It is not only informative but also visually striking with its intricate engravings that highlight the complexity of this essential infrastructure. The image provides an insight into how societies managed waste disposal during that era. The print offers multilingual translations as well - from French to English and German - reflecting the desire for cross-cultural understanding prevalent at the time. This linguistic aspect adds another layer of educational value to the piece.
