EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Turbot; Meerbutte" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was created for Armand Le Brun et al's renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published around 1873. The engraving beautifully depicts a turbot fish and its German counterpart, Meerbutte. This illustration is just one example of the extensive knowledge contained within this illustrated dictionary that covers French, English, and German words commonly used during that era. The black and white aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this piece while highlighting intricate details meticulously engraved by an unknown artist. The composition effortlessly captures the essence of these marine creatures with remarkable accuracy. As we delve into this visual treasure trove from the late 19th century, it becomes evident how such books were invaluable sources of general knowledge during that time. They served as indispensable tools for those seeking to expand their understanding of different languages and cultures. This print not only celebrates the beauty of art but also pays homage to historical educational resources like dictionaries and textbooks. It reminds us of our collective thirst for knowledge across borders and generations.
