EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Trompe; Proboscis; Russel" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when knowledge was sought after through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection and showcases three intriguing subjects. The first subject depicted in this engraving is the trompe, which refers to a musical instrument commonly used in Europe during that era. Its unique shape and intricate details are brought to life through the skilled artistry of the engraver. Next, we encounter the proboscis, an elongated nose or snout often associated with certain animals such as elephants or anteaters. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate its distinctive features and understand its purpose in nature. Lastly, we are introduced to Russel, although further information about this particular reference is not provided. Perhaps it could be referring to a person's name or another object entirely - leaving room for interpretation and curiosity. Overall, this engraving serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. It transports us back in time while reminding us of our constant pursuit of knowledge across different cultures and languages. With its detailed illustrations and historical significance, it captivates viewers with its charm from centuries past.
