EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Ver-luisant; Glowworm; Johanniswurmchen" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate work of European School. The print is part of a private collection and was featured in Armand Le Brun et al's renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published by Furne, Jouvet around 1873. The image depicts a glowworm or "Ver-luisant" in French and "Johanniswurmchen" in German. This beautifully detailed illustration provides an educational insight into these fascinating creatures. The glowworm's luminous body emanates a soft light that illuminates its surroundings during the night. The artwork transports us to an era when illustrated dictionaries were highly valued for expanding one's knowledge. It serves as a reminder of the importance of language learning and cultural exchange across Europe. With Germany being prominently mentioned in the caption, it highlights the influence of Germanic culture on this particular subject matter. Additionally, references to England and France emphasize their contributions to linguistic studies during that time period. Overall, this exquisite engraving from Bridgeman Images captures both artistic beauty and intellectual curiosity. It invites viewers to delve into the world of natural wonders while appreciating historical illustrations as valuable sources of information.
