EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Queue; Tail; Schweif" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate artistry of European School. The print is part of a private collection, adding an air of exclusivity to this piece. Originally featured in Armand Le Brun's renowned work, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published by Furne, Jouvet around 1873, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of three ordinary words - queue (French), tail (English), and schweif (German). It serves as a visual aid for language learners seeking to expand their vocabulary. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable. Each line delicately etched on paper brings life to the various elements depicted - from the graceful curves of tails and queues to their shadowing effects. This artwork not only showcases linguistic knowledge but also highlights the artistic talent prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported across borders and time periods. From Germany to England and France, it represents a harmonious blend of cultures within Europe. Furthermore, its presence in textbooks and dictionaries signifies its importance as a valuable educational resource for generations past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem through Fine Art Finder, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty today. Let us marvel at how such a simple subject matter can be transformed into an exquisite work of art that continues to captivate our imagination centuries later.
