EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Contredanse; Quadrille; Contretanz" takes us back to the 19th century European dance scene. The artwork, created by an unknown European School artist, showcases three popular dances of the time - contredanse, quadrille, and contretanz. The illustration was originally featured in a renowned French book called "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" (Illustrated Vocabulary of Ordinary Words), published around 1873. This educational resource aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. The intricate details captured in this print transport us to a world where these dances were highly regarded forms of entertainment. It offers a glimpse into the cultural heritage and social customs prevalent during that era. With its historical significance and artistic charm, this engraving serves as a valuable piece for collectors or enthusiasts interested in exploring the rich tapestry of 19th-century Europe. Its inclusion in private collections further adds to its allure. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection. As we admire it today, we can appreciate how it not only reflects the beauty of dance but also provides insights into language learning practices and general knowledge dissemination during that period.
