EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Fletan; Halibut; Flunder" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the European School's artistic brilliance. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Armand Le Brun et al's renowned work "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published by Furne, Jouvet in approximately 1873. The image beautifully captures three different species of flatfish - Fletan (French), Halibut (English), and Flunder (German). It serves as a visual aid for language learners seeking to expand their vocabulary in multiple languages. This illustrated dictionary was undoubtedly a valuable resource during its time. The intricate details and precise lines highlight the skillful craftsmanship of the engraver. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each fish, making them almost come alive on paper. As we admire this piece, it transports us to an era when books were treasured possessions that held immense knowledge within their pages. Although originating from Germany, this artwork symbolizes unity within Europe through its inclusion of French and English translations alongside German terminology. It reminds us of the rich linguistic diversity present across the continent. As we delve into this historical print captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and language barriers while preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
