EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Contre-basse; Double-bass; Contrabasz" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of knowledge and language. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection that showcases the beauty of ordinary words. The illustration was originally featured in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this book aimed to provide readers with an illustrated dictionary encompassing French, English, and German vocabulary. Intriguingly detailed and meticulously crafted, this engraving focuses on three variations of the same musical instrument: contre-basse (French), double bass (English), and contrabasz (German). It highlights not only linguistic diversity but also cultural connections across Europe during that era. As we explore this artwork further, we are reminded of its historical significance. The late 19th century marked a period of great intellectual curiosity and expansion throughout Europe. This print serves as a testament to the thirst for knowledge prevalent at that time. With its elegant composition and intricate details captured in monochromatic tones, this engraving transports us into an era where dictionaries were treasured sources of information. It invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind such illustrations and their role in preserving our collective understanding of language through generations.
