EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Porte-manteau; Portmanteau; Mantelsack" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through books and dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection. The illustration comes from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, it aimed to provide readers with an extensive vocabulary in French, English, and German. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving showcases a porte-manteau (coat rack) alongside its translations into English (portmanteau) and German (Mantelsack). This visual representation allows language learners to grasp ordinary words easily. As we delve into this artwork's historical context further, we are reminded of Europe's diverse linguistic landscape during that era. The image symbolizes unity within diversity as it encompasses elements from Germany (Germanic), England (Great Britain), France (French overseas departments and territories), and even includes a map of Europe itself. With its educational significance and aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a testament to the importance of general knowledge acquisition in society. It transports us back to an era where textbooks were cherished treasures for those seeking intellectual growth. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from Fine Art Finder for future generations to appreciate.
