EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Raie; Skate; Roche" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created as an illustration for the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The engraving beautifully depicts a skate fish along with a rock formation, representing ordinary words from the French language. This educational piece was published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet and Co. , aiming to provide readers with vocabulary in French, English, and German. The image transports us back to the late 19th century when knowledge was sought through dictionaries and illustrated textbooks. It symbolizes a time when people valued expanding their general knowledge and understanding different languages. With its intricate details and artistic flair, this engraving captures not only the essence of marine life but also serves as a visual representation of cultural exchange during that era. It reminds us of how language connects nations across Europe - Germany, England (Great Britain), France - fostering unity despite geographical boundaries. This historical gem preserved in Bridgeman Images' collection offers insight into early linguistic studies while showcasing the beauty of engraved illustrations from centuries past.
