EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Pourceaux; Pigs; Schwein" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought through beautifully illustrated books. Created by the European School, this print is a part of a private collection and showcases an illustration from Armand Le Brun et al's "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands". The intricate engraving depicts three pigs or pourceaux in French, representing ordinary words related to these farm animals. The attention to detail is evident as each pig is meticulously portrayed with their distinctive features. This artwork serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight. The historical significance of this piece becomes apparent when considering its origin during the late 19th century in Germany. It reflects the cultural exchange between European countries like France and England during that time. Through this enchanting print, we are transported into a world where dictionaries were not just sources of information but also works of art. It reminds us of the importance placed on general knowledge acquisition in earlier times. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come. As we gaze upon it today, we can appreciate the beauty found within its lines while reflecting on how our understanding of language has evolved over time.
