EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Mortaise; Mortise; Zapfenloch" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the world of craftsmanship and knowledge. The print, created by the European School, showcases a scene from Armand Le Brun's renowned illustrated dictionary. Intricate details bring to life the artistry of an ebenist (cabinetmaker) at work, meticulously crafting a mortise or zapfenloch (a hole or slot used for joining pieces of wood). This illustration not only captures the essence of traditional craft industries but also serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to expand their vocabulary in French, English, and German. The print is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into an era when dictionaries were treasured possessions that provided essential information on various subjects. It reminds us of how important it was to have access to such comprehensive sources before modern technology made knowledge readily available at our fingertips. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time—exploring Europe's rich cultural heritage while appreciating the skill and dedication required in creating beautiful handiwork with timber.
