EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Quaiche; Ketch; Kits" showcases the intricate details of three ordinary words from different languages. Created by the European School in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The illustration was originally featured in Armand Le Brun et al's renowned book, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands". Published by Furne and Jouvet around 1873, this dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday vocabulary in French, English, and German. In this particular image, we are introduced to three distinct objects: a quaiche (a traditional Scottish drinking cup), a ketch (a type of sailing vessel with two masts), and kits (small wooden barrels). The attention to detail in each depiction allows viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating these engravings. As we delve into history through this artwork, it becomes evident that knowledge knows no boundaries. This piece represents not only linguistic diversity but also cultural exchange between countries like France, England (Great Britain), and Germany during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder that language is an essential tool for communication and understanding across borders. Overall, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the past while celebrating our shared human experience through language and everyday objects.
