EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Autruche; Ostrich; Strauss (engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century European knowledge and exploration. This print, part of a private collection, showcases an engraving from the renowned illustrated dictionary Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels. The artwork depicts three ostriches in intricate detail, with their long necks and powerful legs gracefully portrayed. The artist's skillful rendering brings these magnificent creatures to life, highlighting their unique characteristics and capturing their natural beauty. This engraving was created by the European School in the late 19th century as an illustration for Armand Le Brun et al's comprehensive dictionary. It aimed to provide readers with a visual representation of common words in French, English, and German languages. The inclusion of this particular image reflects the fascination that people had during this era with exotic animals from distant lands. Ostriches were seen as symbols of curiosity and wonder due to their large size and unusual appearance. As we admire this historical print today, it serves as a reminder of our continuous quest for knowledge across different cultures and languages. It also highlights the importance of illustrated dictionaries like Le Vocabulaire Illustre in expanding our understanding of the world around us. With its rich history and artistic excellence, this print is not only a valuable piece but also a testament to human curiosity about nature's wonders.
