EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Greement; Rigging; Takelwerk" takes us back to the 19th century in Europe. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist during this period. The engraving is a remarkable 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 ordinary words in French, English, and German. The image showcases intricate details of various riggings used on ships during that era. It serves as an educational tool for those seeking knowledge about sailing terminology and maritime practices prevalent at the time. With its precise lines and meticulous shading techniques typical of engravings from this period, the artwork captures the essence of early 19th-century illustrations. The composition allows viewers to delve into the world of seafaring while appreciating both its technical aspects and artistic beauty. As we explore this print further, it reminds us not only of our fascination with history but also our continuous quest for knowledge through dictionaries and textbooks across different languages. This piece serves as a testament to how art can bridge gaps between cultures and enhance our understanding of diverse subjects like language and navigation.
