EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Spatule; Spoonbill; Loffelreiher" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print 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 features three different names for the same bird species - spatule in French, spoonbill in English, and loffelreiher in German. It reflects the linguistic diversity of Europe during that time period. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable as it captures the essence of these ordinary words with precision. The print offers a glimpse into early 19th-century Europe's fascination with general knowledge and language acquisition. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on education during that era. This piece not only provides insight into vocabulary but also highlights cultural connections between countries such as France, England (Great Britain), Germany (including North Germany), and their respective languages. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this engraving transports us back to a time when books were treasured possessions filled with intricate illustrations like this one. It reminds us of how far we have come in our pursuit of knowledge while appreciating the timeless charm captured within these pages from centuries past.
