EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Pingouin (commun); Razor-bill; Schermesserschnabler" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an engraving by the European School. The artwork is part of a private collection and was featured in the renowned publication "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The image depicts three different species of birds: the common penguin, razor-bill, and schermesserschnabler. It serves as an illustration for this comprehensive dictionary that covers French, English, and German words. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet & Cie. , it aimed to provide readers with a visual representation of everyday vocabulary. The intricate details captured in this engraving showcase the beauty and diversity of these avian creatures. From their distinct features to their graceful postures, each bird comes alive on paper through the skillful work of the engraver. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print also symbolizes knowledge and learning. As part of an illustrated dictionary or textbook from that era, it represents a valuable resource for those seeking to expand their understanding of language and general knowledge. Overall, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into both natural history and educational practices during the late 19th century. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection highlights its significance as not just a piece of art but also as a window into our past fascination with wildlife and linguistic exploration.
