EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Blatier; Corn-merchant; Kornhandler" takes us back to the 19th century in Europe. The print, created by an unknown European School artist, showcases a corn-merchant or blatier in his shop surrounded by various botanical illustrations of wheat and corn. The illustration is part of the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" written by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, this dictionary aimed to provide knowledge on everyday words in French, English, and German languages. The image transports us to a time when trade was flourishing across Europe. The merchant's expertise lies in the cereal industry as he deals with different varieties of corn crops. His shop displays an array of maize ears and other agricultural products related to cornfields. Through this engraving, we gain insight into not only the profession of a corn-merchant but also the significance of botany and natural history during that era. It serves as a visual representation of how science played a vital role in understanding vegetables and their uses within society. As we admire this historical artwork captured beautifully through Bridgeman Images' lens for Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our rich cultural heritage rooted in agriculture and trade across nations like Germany, England (Great Britain), France (Brittany), among others within Europe.
