EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Garde forestier; Ranger; Forster" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of European forestry. The print is part of a collection called "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" which aimed to provide an illustrated dictionary of ordinary words in French, English, and German. In this particular illustration, we see three figures representing different roles related to forest conservation. The garde forestier (forest warden) stands tall with his uniform and hat adorned with leaves. He exudes authority as he oversees the protection and management of the woodland area. Next to him stands the ranger, who appears more rugged in his attire. With binoculars around his neck and a walking stick in hand, he embodies adventure as he explores the vast wilderness. Lastly, we have Forster - perhaps an homage to Johann Georg Adam Forster - symbolizing scientific knowledge within forestry. Holding a book or document in one hand while pointing at something unseen with the other hand suggests that he is engaged in research or study. This engraving not only showcases historical professions but also highlights their importance in preserving nature's beauty for future generations. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards environmental stewardship even today.
