EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Engoulevent; Goat-sucker; Ziegenmelker (engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century European knowledge and fascination with the natural world. This print, created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, showcases a beautifully detailed engraving of three different names for a nocturnal bird species. Featured in Armand Le Brun et al's renowned illustrated dictionary, 'Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, ' this engraving exemplifies the cross-cultural exchange between France, England, and Germany during that time period. The bird depicted is known as Engoulevent in French, Goat-sucker in English, and Ziegenmelker in German. The black and white illustration provides a glimpse into early scientific exploration and classification of animals. It serves as a testament to the meticulous attention to detail prevalent among artists during this era. This print not only offers insight into historical linguistic variations but also highlights our ancestors' curiosity about wildlife. It reminds us of how far we have come in understanding these creatures while appreciating their beauty.
