EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Boulet rame; Chain-shot; Kettenkugel" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, is a remarkable illustration for Armand Le Brun et al's "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published by Furne and Jouvet around 1873. The image depicts three intriguing objects - boulet rame (cannonball), chain-shot, and kettenkugel (a type of cannonball). This engraving provides valuable insight into weaponry during this era. It transports us back to the late nineteenth century when knowledge was expanding rapidly across Europe. The detailed illustration captures the essence of these weapons with precision and accuracy. Chains intertwine menacingly in the chain-shot while boulet rame stands as a symbol of military might. Kettenkugel intrigues viewers with its unique design that sets it apart from traditional cannonballs. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded of how dictionaries serve as gateways to understanding different languages and cultures. This engraving serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. Its inclusion in textbooks or illustrated dictionaries would have undoubtedly enhanced learning experiences for students studying French, English, or German. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into history while highlighting the importance of knowledge acquisition through visual representation.
