EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Sarigue; Opossum; Beutelthier" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through books and dictionaries. Created by the European School, this illustration is part of a private collection. The artwork originates from an illustrated dictionary called "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, it aimed to provide readers with ordinary words in French, English, and German languages. Intriguingly detailed and meticulously crafted, this engraving showcases three fascinating creatures: the sarigue (opossum) and beutelthier (a term used for marsupials). The artist's skillful hand brings these animals to life on paper. As we delve into this piece of art from the past century, we are reminded of how language connects people across borders. It serves as a reminder that even in those times long gone by technology advancements like today's internet or translation tools were not available but still people strived for knowledge. Let this print transport you back to an era where dictionaries were cherished companions on intellectual journeys. Appreciate the beauty of this historical artifact while contemplating its significance in our ever-evolving world of communication.
