EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Eperlan; Smelt; Stint" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is a part of a private collection and showcases the intricate artistry prevalent during that era. The image depicts three fish species - Eperlan, Smelt, and Stint - meticulously engraved with stunning detail. It was originally intended for Armand Le Brun's renowned work, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" which aimed to provide translations in French, English, and German for everyday words. As we delve into this historical piece of artwork, we are transported to an age where books were treasured possessions filled with valuable information. The illustration captures not only the beauty of these aquatic creatures but also serves as a reminder of how language has evolved over time. With its origins in Germany and Europe at large, this engraving symbolizes cross-cultural exchange during the 19th century. Its inclusion in educational textbooks reflects society's thirst for knowledge and understanding beyond national borders. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another gem from their Fine Art Finder collection – a glimpse into history through artistry that continues to captivate viewers even today.
