EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Gouvernail; Rudder; Steuerruder" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through books and dictionaries. Created by the European School, this illustration is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate details of a rudder, known as "gouvernail" in French, "rudder" in English, and "steuerruder" in German. Originally featured in Armand Le Brun's renowned work, Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, this engraving served as an educational tool for those seeking to expand their vocabulary across different languages. The book aimed to bridge linguistic gaps between French, English, and German speakers by providing illustrations alongside ordinary words. The artwork transports us to a time when printed materials were highly valued sources of information. It symbolizes the thirst for knowledge that prevailed during that era. With its precise lines and attention to detail, it reflects the craftsmanship of 19th-century engravings. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images today, we are reminded of how language has evolved over time while appreciating the beauty found within historical textbooks like Le Vocabulaire Illustre.
