EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Peigne; Comb; Kamm" showcases the intricate artistry of the 19th century European School. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The image depicts a beautifully detailed comb in three languages - French (Peigne), English (Comb), and German (Kamm). It serves as a visual representation of common vocabulary words from these languages. Created around 1873 by Furne Jouvet publishers, this engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into language learning during that era. With its precise lines and delicate shading techniques, this artwork exemplifies the mastery of the engraver's craft. The use of black and white adds to its timeless appeal while emphasizing the fine details of each language label on the comb. Beyond its aesthetic value, this print symbolizes knowledge and education through dictionaries and textbooks. It reminds us of the importance of understanding different cultures and languages in our interconnected world. As we admire this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it transports us back to a time when printed illustrations were instrumental in expanding one's general knowledge.
