EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Poteau (d enseigne); Sign-post; Schildpfosten" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when knowledge and communication were expanding rapidly. The image showcases an engraving from the European School, depicting a sign-post with inscriptions in French, English, and German. The artwork is part of the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" authored by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in three major languages. Intriguingly detailed and meticulously crafted, this engraving offers a glimpse into the linguistic diversity of Europe during that era. It symbolizes not only language but also cultural exchange and unity within the continent. The print's inclusion in private collections speaks to its historical significance and artistic value. Its presence evokes curiosity about how people communicated across borders at that time and highlights the importance placed on dictionaries as tools for education and general knowledge acquisition. With references to Germany, England (Great Britain), France, and even Europe as a whole through its map depiction, this artwork transcends national boundaries while celebrating linguistic diversity. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage as Europeans while showcasing the beauty of different languages coming together harmoniously. Overall, this print captures an essential piece of history — one that reminds us of how language has always been instrumental in connecting people across cultures throughout centuries past.
