EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Boulets; Cannon-balls; Kanonenkugeln" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through books and illustrations. Created by an unknown European School artist, this print is part of a private collection. The artwork is an illustration for the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. Intriguingly detailed and meticulously crafted, the engraving showcases various types of cannonballs or boulets used as weapons during that period. It offers a glimpse into the armaments employed in warfare across Europe at that time. With its historical significance and educational value, this artwork serves as a window into the past. It reminds us of how people once relied on printed materials like dictionaries to expand their knowledge and language skills. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection today, let it transport us back to an era where books were treasured possessions and engravings like these were instrumental in broadening one's horizons.
