EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Bibliotheque; Library; Bibliothek" by the European School from the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was created for Armand Le Brun et al's renowned publication "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" (Furne, Jouvet, c 1873). The image depicts a grand library scene that exudes elegance and sophistication. It serves as an illustration for the concept of libraries in three languages - French ("Bibliotheque"), English ("Library"), and German ("Bibliothek"). This educational piece aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of common words across different languages. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us back to the late 19th century when knowledge was cherished and sought after. The central library building stands tall and majestic amidst its surroundings. Rows upon rows of books line the shelves within its walls, representing a vast wealth of information waiting to be explored. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the importance of libraries as repositories of general knowledge. They serve as gateways to learning and enlightenment for individuals seeking wisdom or simply indulging their curiosity through books and dictionaries. With references to Germany and England included in this engraving's description, it emphasizes how these institutions transcend borders and unite people through shared knowledge across Europe. This print is not only visually stunning but also symbolizes the power that libraries hold in fostering intellectual growth on both personal and societal levels.
