EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Musaraigne; Shrew-mouse; Spitzmaus" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was captured in beautifully illustrated dictionaries. The artwork is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The engraving depicts three different names for a small mammal commonly known as the shrew-mouse or spitzmaus. With intricate details and precision, the European School artist has brought this creature to life on paper. The image not only serves as an educational tool but also highlights the artistic talent of its creator. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded of how books were once treasured sources of information before technology took over. This print captures a moment in history when people turned to dictionaries like these to expand their understanding of languages and general knowledge. The inclusion of multiple languages - French, English, and German - reflects the importance placed on linguistic diversity during that era. It reminds us that language connects cultures across borders and enhances our collective understanding. Overall, this engraving offers a glimpse into both historical education practices and artistic craftsmanship. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found within pages filled with words while celebrating nature's wonders through detailed illustrations like this one.
