EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Raton; Racoon; Waschbar" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through books and dictionaries. The artwork is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration for "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The image depicts three animals - raton (raccoon), racoon (racoon), and waschbar (wash bear) - with their names written in French, English, and German respectively. It serves as a visual aid to help readers understand ordinary words in these languages. Created by the European School in Germany during this era of enlightenment, the engraving reflects the desire for cross-cultural understanding within Europe. It highlights how language can bridge gaps between nations. As we delve into this piece of history captured on paper, it reminds us of the importance placed on education during that time. This print not only acts as an educational tool but also represents a broader movement towards expanding general knowledge across borders. With its intricate details and precise craftsmanship typical of engravings from this period, it offers us a glimpse into both artistic techniques and linguistic exploration. A true testament to human curiosity and our ongoing quest for understanding different cultures around us.
