EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Gnou; Gnu (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of knowledge and language. Created by an unknown European School artist, this engraving is part of a private collection. The artwork was originally featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet & Cie. , it aimed to provide readers with an illustrated dictionary of ordinary words in French, English, and German. In this particular illustration, we see a detailed depiction of two majestic creatures known as gnous or gnus. These animals are native to Africa and belong to the antelope family. The intricate lines and shading used in the engraving bring these magnificent creatures to life on paper. With its historical significance and educational value, this print serves as a reminder of how dictionaries were once essential tools for expanding one's vocabulary across different languages. It also highlights the importance placed on general knowledge during that era. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such engravings and their role in fostering linguistic understanding between cultures.
