EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Astronome; Astronomer; Astronom" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of astronomy and scientific knowledge during that era. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist. The illustration was originally featured in the book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" 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 French, English, and German. In this particular print, we see an astronomer engrossed in his study of celestial bodies. His focused expression reflects his dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. This depiction reminds us of the importance placed on scientific methods and exploration during that time. While we are unable to discern any specific details about the location or identity of this astronomer from the engraving itself, it serves as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about our place in space. It also highlights how knowledge has been passed down through generations via dictionaries and textbooks like those depicted here. Overall, this artwork offers both historical significance and aesthetic appeal for those interested in astronomy or 19th-century European culture.
