EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Paume; Tennis; Ballspiel" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of sports and knowledge. The engraving, created by an anonymous European School artist, showcases three popular ball games - paume, tennis, and ballspiel. Part of the renowned illustrated dictionary "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" this artwork was featured in Armand Le Brun et al's publication around 1873. It offers a visual representation of common words in French, English, and German languages. This educational book aimed to expand readers' understanding across different cultures and languages. The image portrays a tennis ground or court where sportswomen engage in intense gameplay. Their elegant movements demonstrate the skillful nature of these athletic pursuits. The precision of the engraver is evident as every detail is captured with finesse. As we delve into this historical piece, we are reminded of Europe's rich heritage and its contribution to both sportsmanship and linguistic diversity. From Germany's influence on Northern Europe to France's impact on language development worldwide, this print encapsulates centuries-old traditions that have shaped our modern society. Displayed within private collections today, this Fine Art Finder photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind such engravings from the past.
