EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Lanier; Shrike; Wurgfalk" showcases the intricate artwork of the European School in the 19th century. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The engraving portrays three fascinating bird species: Lanier (Butcherbird), Shrike (Great Grey Shrike), and Wurgfalk (Gyrfalcon). Each bird is meticulously detailed with precision and skill. This artistic masterpiece not only captures their physical features but also evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about these creatures. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to expand general knowledge by providing visual representations alongside ordinary words in French, English, and German. It served as an invaluable resource for language learners during that era. The print's historical significance lies in its representation of diverse European cultures coming together through language exploration. With Germany being at the forefront during this time period, it symbolizes unity within Europe while showcasing England's contribution to knowledge dissemination through books like this one. This remarkable piece from the late 19th century serves as a testament to human fascination with nature and our continuous quest for understanding different languages across borders. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire generations even today.
