"Ordinary Words: Unveiling the Engraved Vocabulary" In a world filled with extraordinary tales, it is often the ordinary words that hold immense power. Take, for instance, Le Vocabulaire Illustre - a collection of engravings that brings to life everyday expressions in different languages. From Lapin (Rabbit) to Kaninchen (German for Rabbit), each engraving captures the essence of these seemingly simple words. The first engraving portrays Lapin, an adorable creature known for its agility and cuteness. Its counterpart, Rabbit, evokes images of fluffy tails and hopping through meadows. And then there's Kaninchen; just saying it feels like whispering a secret in another language. Moving on to Chanvre (Hemp), we delve into the versatile plant used for textiles and medicinal purposes. The engraving showcases its intricate leaves and fibrous stems. Hemp takes us on a linguistic journey as we discover Hanf - its German equivalent that carries centuries-old cultural significance. Next comes Sanglier (Wild-boar), symbolizing strength and ferocity in French culture. With razor-sharp tusks and a fierce gaze captured in the engraving, this word echoes through time as Wildschwein emerges from German folklore with tales of huntsmen chasing after them. As we explore further into Le Vocabulaire Illustre's pages, Execution appears before our eyes - an image depicting historical justice systems at work. Hinrichtung reveals itself as its German translation; both words evoke emotions ranging from fear to contemplation about morality. Rixe (Affray) introduces us to chaotic scenes where conflicts arise unexpectedly. Handgemenge emerges alongside Rixe as its German counterpart; both convey moments when tensions escalate beyond control. Cadavre (Corpse) unveils mortality's stark reality with haunting imagery etched onto paper. Leiche follows suit as its German equivalent whispers chilling stories of the deceased.
