EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Emile Littre, a prominent French lexicographer and philosopher of the 19th century. The artist, Pierre Petit, skillfully depicts Littre's intellectual prowess through his piercing gaze and scholarly demeanor. Donning a pair of spectacles that symbolize his dedication to knowledge, Littre exudes wisdom and depth. Littre's significant contribution to the world of linguistics is highlighted in this print. As the compiler of the renowned "Dictionnaire de la langue francaise" (Dictionary of the French language), he meticulously documented and defined countless words, shaping our understanding of French vocabulary even today. Beyond his occupation as a lexicographer, Littre was also an esteemed philosopher whose ideas resonated with many during his time. His philosophical musings explored various aspects of life and society in France during the 19th century. This monochrome portrait not only serves as a visual representation but also offers us a glimpse into the character behind this influential figure. It reminds us of Littre's enduring legacy as one who dedicated himself to unraveling linguistic complexities while delving into profound philosophical inquiries. As we admire this remarkable image captured by Pierre Petit, we are transported back to an era where intellect thrived amidst simplicity—a testament to Emile Littre's lasting impact on both academia and society at large.
