EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Lavabo (meuble); Washhandstand; Waschtisch" takes us back to the 19th century, where knowledge was captured in beautifully engraved illustrations. The artwork, created by the European School, is part of a private collection and showcases a lavabo or washhandstand, known as "Waschtisch" in German. The image comes from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" written by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to bridge language barriers between French, English, and German speakers. As we delve into this piece of history through artistry and words, we are reminded of the importance of dictionaries as tools for communication across borders. This engraving represents ordinary words that were essential for everyday life during that era. With its intricate details and refined craftsmanship typical of 19th-century engravings, this print transports us to a time when books were cherished treasures filled with knowledge waiting to be discovered. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our constant pursuit of understanding different cultures and languages. Through this photograph's lens, we catch a glimpse not only into the past but also into our own desire for connection and learning. It reminds us that even centuries later, these timeless pieces continue to inspire awe and appreciation for the power of words.
