EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Hippopotame; Hippopotamus; Fluszpferd" takes us back to the 19th century, where knowledge was sought after through dictionaries and textbooks. Created by the European School, this illustration is part of a comprehensive illustrated dictionary called "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" authored by Armand Le Brun et al. The artwork showcases an intricately detailed depiction of a hippopotamus, known as "Hippopotame" in French, "Hippopotamus" in English, and "Fluszpferd" in German. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to expand their vocabulary across multiple languages. With its historical significance and educational value, this print offers a glimpse into the intellectual pursuits of the time. The engravings were published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet & Cie. , providing readers with ordinary words translated into French, English, and German. As we admire this piece from a private collection today, it reminds us of the importance placed on general knowledge during that era. Whether used for reference or simply appreciated for its artistic merit, this engraving invites us to explore language diversity while appreciating the beauty found within nature's creatures like the majestic hippopotamus.
