EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Sangsue; Leech; Blutegel" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, is a remarkable illustration for "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this book aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. The engraving itself depicts the fascinating creature known as a leech or sangsue in French and Blutegel in German. This detailed black-and-white image captures the essence of these animals found in various parts of Europe. With its intricate lines and shading techniques employed by the talented engraver from Germany or Northern Germany (as suggested), it offers viewers insight into both scientific knowledge and artistic craftsmanship. As we delve into this piece from the late 19th century, we are reminded of how books like these served as valuable resources for general knowledge during that era. They were not only dictionaries but also beautifully illustrated textbooks that enriched people's understanding of different languages and cultures across Europe. This Fine Art Finder print allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the aesthetic beauty captured within this engraving. It serves as a reminder of our continuous quest for knowledge about wildlife and our desire to explore different aspects of life through art forms such as engravings.
