EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Mousse; Ship-boy; Schiffsjunge" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of apprenticeship and maritime life. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist. The illustration depicts a young ship-boy, dressed in his distinctive sailor uniform, standing proudly with a book in hand. This image serves as an accompaniment to Armand Le Brun et al's renowned work, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels". Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with everyday words translated into French, English, and German. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable. From the intricate costume design of the ship-boy's attire to the carefully crafted background elements that evoke both England and Germany's seafaring traditions. It showcases not only the artistic skill but also provides valuable insights into historical fashion trends. This print transports us back in time when knowledge was sought after through books like these dictionaries. It reminds us of how people strived for general knowledge despite limited resources compared to today's digital age. Overall, this enchanting piece invites viewers on a journey through history while celebrating learning and cultural exchange across Europe during the 19th century.
