EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Richesse; Wealth; Reichthum" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was created as an illustration for Armand Le Brun et al's renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands". Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this masterpiece offers a comprehensive visual representation of three languages - French, English, and German. The engraving itself depicts various elements associated with wealth and prosperity. A beautifully crafted chest filled with minted money takes center stage while symbolizing financial abundance. Surrounding it are intriguing symbols representing knowledge and general understanding such as dictionaries and textbooks. This amalgamation of imagery reflects the importance of education in attaining wealth. Furthermore, this artwork serves as a testament to the cultural exchange between different European countries during that era. It highlights Germany's influence through its language being included alongside French and English within the vocabulary book. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print transports viewers back to the late 19th century when Europe was undergoing significant social changes. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistic craftsmanship but also the interconnectedness of language and culture across borders.
