"Exploring the Language: From Morse Code to Lexicography" Embarking on a journey through time, we find ourselves aboard the boat "Sully, " accompanied by none other than Samuel Morse himself. In this 19th-century engraving, we witness the birth of an invention that would revolutionize communication - Morse code. Fast forward to Paris in 1829, where Francois Sudre conducts a groundbreaking experiment in telephony on the Champ de Mars. Through this captivating engraving, we catch a glimpse of Sudre's determination to bridge distances and connect people through sound. Delving deeper into history, we encounter Jean Francois Sudre once again, but this time as a composer. The engraved portrait captures his passion for music and his contribution to harmonizing not only melodies but also languages themselves. As our exploration continues, we stumble upon a map showcasing Tarn-et-Garonne with stunning views of Montauban. Alongside these picturesque scenes are portraits of two influential figures - Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Jean Parisot de La Valette. Their presence reminds us that language extends beyond words; it is also expressed through art and culture. Nature intertwines with language as we come across the vibrant Copianthus indica shrub. Its cornucopian beauty serves as a metaphor for the richness and diversity found within different languages worldwide. Venturing further into linguistic diversity, an intriguing inscription catches our attention - written in the Kushana language using Greek alphabet characters. This ancient script reveals how languages evolve over time while leaving traces of their origins behind. However, not all aspects related to language are joyful discoveries. A color lithograph depicts Cancer ulcere de la langue (oral cancer) alongside degeneration of lymph nodes – reminding us that diseases can affect even our ability to communicate effectively. Influential figures emerge once more as Emile Littre takes center stage – renowned French lexicographer and philosopher.
