EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Serpent (de mer); Sea-snake; Seeschlange" 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 a comprehensive visual dictionary encompassing French, English, and German words. The image itself depicts a sea serpent gracefully swimming through the depths of the ocean. Its intricate details and lifelike portrayal highlight the artistic skill of the engraver who brought this mythical creature to life. This enchanting piece serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. With its origins in Germany's northern region and its connection to various European countries within the European Union (EU), this print represents not only cultural diversity but also shared knowledge across borders. It reminds us that wildlife transcends national boundaries and sparks curiosity about different species found throughout Europe. Furthermore, this print evokes nostalgia for classic textbooks and illustrated dictionaries that were once treasured sources of information before modern digital resources became prevalent. It invites viewers to delve into their own memories of learning from similar books or ignites their desire to explore new realms of knowledge. Overall, this print captures both beauty and intellect with its depiction of a sea serpent while symbolizing cross-cultural exchange through education.
