EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Cour (de recreation); Play-ground; Spielhof" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the leisurely activities of schoolchildren. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist. The scene depicted showcases a bustling school courtyard or playground, where children from France, Germany, and England engage in various games and enjoy their free time. The illustration comes from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" written by Armand Le Brun et al. This educational resource aimed to teach French, English, and German vocabulary through vivid illustrations. The image transports us to a different era when dictionaries were not only tools for learning but also sources of entertainment. It reminds us of the importance placed on general knowledge during that time period. As we observe this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the laughter of children as they play together. Through this print, we are reminded that despite cultural differences and geographical distances between nations like Germany, England, and France – represented here – there are universal joys shared among children across borders. It serves as a testament to the power of childhood innocence in bridging gaps between cultures. Overall, this engraving offers both historical insight into education practices in the 19th century and evokes nostalgia for simpler times filled with carefree enjoyment amidst academic pursuits.
