EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Tanaisie; Tansy; Rainfarm" takes us back to the 19th century. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this print is part of a private collection. The artwork was originally featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide knowledge of everyday words in French, English, and German. Intriguingly detailed and meticulously crafted, the engraving showcases three plants: Tanaisie (Tansy) and Rainfarm. The delicate lines bring out the intricate patterns on each leaf while capturing their unique characteristics. The historical significance of this piece cannot be overlooked. It offers a glimpse into the intellectual pursuits of that era when dictionaries were essential tools for expanding one's vocabulary across different languages. This print serves as a reminder of how knowledge was sought after during a time when textbooks were treasured possessions. With its roots in Europe but extending beyond borders to include Germany and England among others, this artwork symbolizes unity within diversity - an embodiment of the European Union's ideals. As we admire this enchanting illustration from centuries past, let it inspire us to continue our quest for knowledge and appreciation for art across cultures.
