EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Glissade; Slide; Glitschbahn" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of knowledge and language. The artwork, created by an unknown European School artist, is part of a private collection. The illustration was originally featured in the book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, this dictionary aimed to bridge linguistic gaps between French, English, and German speakers. Intriguingly detailed and meticulously crafted, this engraving showcases three translations for the word "glissade": slide in English and glitschbahn in German. It serves as a visual representation of ordinary words that were commonly used during that era. As we explore this piece further, it becomes evident that it not only captures linguistic diversity but also reflects European cultural exchange. With references to Germany (specifically North Germany), England (Great Britain), France (including its overseas departments and territories), and even Europe as a whole through its map depiction – this artwork symbolizes unity amidst diversity. Overall, this print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the historical significance of dictionaries as educational tools and the beauty found within their illustrations. It invites us to delve into past centuries' intellectual pursuits while reminding us of our shared human quest for understanding across borders.
