EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Hirondelle; Swallow; Schwalbe" takes us back to the 19th century, where knowledge was sought after through dictionaries and illustrated textbooks. Created by the European School, this artwork is a part of a private collection. The image showcases an intricate illustration of three different names for the same bird - hirondelle in French, swallow in English, and schwalbe in German. It was originally featured in Armand Le Brun's "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published around 1873. With its delicate details and precise lines, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of these ordinary words from three different languages. The graceful form of the swallow is depicted mid-flight, symbolizing freedom and migration. As we admire this piece from the late 19th century, we are reminded of how language connects people across borders and cultures. It serves as a reminder that even though our words may differ, there are universal experiences that bind us together. Whether you appreciate art or have an interest in linguistics or ornithology, this print offers a glimpse into history while celebrating the beauty found within everyday vocabulary. A true testament to human curiosity and our constant pursuit of knowledge throughout time.
