EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Ivraie; Tare; Lolch" is a remarkable piece of 19th-century European artwork. Created by an unknown artist from the European School, this print showcases three botanical illustrations - ivraie, tare, and lolch. The engraving was originally featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of ordinary words in French, English, and German. The intricate details captured in this engraving beautifully depict each plant species. The ivraie (darnel) is shown with its slender stalks bearing clusters of small grains. The tare appears as a weed-like plant with broad leaves sprouting from its stem. Lastly, the lolch (ryegrass) displays long blades that gracefully curve towards the ground. This print not only serves as an educational tool but also offers a glimpse into the artistic style prevalent during the late 19th century. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its historical significance and enduring appeal. As we admire this enchanting work of art today, we are reminded of how knowledge transcends time and borders. It serves as a testament to our collective pursuit of understanding through dictionaries and illustrated textbooks across different languages and cultures like French-speaking France or English-speaking England within Europe's diverse landscape.
