EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Pompier; Fireman; Spritzenmann" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was captured in beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection. The artwork showcases an illustration of a fireman or "pompier" in French, "fireman" in English, and "spritzenmann" in German.

The book aimed to provide ordinary words translated into French, English, and German. With intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this engraving transports us to a time when firefighters were seen as heroes who risked their lives to protect others from devastating fires.
