EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Cerf-volant; Kite; Papierdrache" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a delightful illustration of a kite. Created by the European School, this artwork is part of a private collection and was featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands". The intricate details of the engraving highlight the beauty and intricacy of kites as they soar through the sky. The image captures not only the physical form of a kite but also evokes a sense of playfulness and joy associated with flying these whimsical objects. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported to an era where knowledge was sought after through illustrated dictionaries like Le Brun et al's masterpiece. This artwork serves as a reminder that even ordinary words can be brought to life through visual representation. With its historical significance and cross-cultural appeal (featuring French, English, and German translations), this engraving offers us glimpses into different languages and cultures from centuries past. It reminds us that despite our differences, there are universal joys such as playing games like kiting that connect us all. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come so that we may continue to appreciate its artistic value while reflecting on how language unifies humanity across time and borders.
