EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving of a sextant, taken from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels". Created by the European School in the 19th century, this masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The engraving was originally featured in Armand Le Brun et al's comprehensive dictionary, which aimed to provide readers with an understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. The detailed illustration beautifully captures the essence of this scientific instrument used in astronomy. With its origins rooted in Germany during the late 19th century, it symbolizes Europe's rich history and knowledge. The sextant itself represents precision and accuracy as it was utilized for celestial navigation. Displayed against a backdrop of other essential objects like books and dictionaries, this image serves as a reminder of our collective pursuit for knowledge across different cultures.
