EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Serrurier; Locksmith; Schlosser" takes us back to the 19th century in Europe. Created by an unknown European School artist, this print is part of a private collection and showcases the craftsmanship of a locksmith. The illustration was originally featured in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this book aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of ordinary words in French, English, and German. Intricately detailed and beautifully executed, the engraving depicts a skilled locksmith at work. With his tools laid out before him and intense focus on his face, he represents the dedication required for such craftsmanship. This image serves as both an educational tool and a testament to the importance of tradesmen during that era. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported to a time when knowledge was sought through illustrated dictionaries like these. The print not only captures the essence of early 19th-century Germany but also highlights how language connects people across different countries within Europe. Whether you appreciate historical engravings or have an interest in locksmithing as a craft or profession today, this artwork offers insight into both past practices and enduring human curiosity for expanding our vocabulary.
