EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Taupier; Mole-catcher; Maulwurfsfanger (engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century European wildlife knowledge. This exquisite print, part of a private collection, showcases an engraving by the European School from that era. The artwork depicts a taupier, or mole-catcher, diligently at work in his task. With great attention to detail, the engraver skillfully portrays this specialist using traditional tools and techniques to capture these elusive creatures. The image is accompanied by informative text from Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands by Armand Le Brun et al. , published around 1873. This piece not only serves as an accessory for any art enthusiast but also offers a glimpse into Germany's rich cultural heritage. It highlights the importance of animal control and preservation during that time period in Northern Germany. As we explore this engraving further, it becomes evident how it contributes to our general knowledge and understanding of wildlife. Its inclusion in illustrated dictionaries and textbooks demonstrates its significance as an educational tool across Europe. With references to France and England within its context—two influential countries during the 19th century—the print bridges cultures and languages through its trilingual descriptions. It reminds us of the interconnectedness between nations in sharing knowledge about animals and their habitats. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a remarkable piece of art history that celebrates both nature's beauty and humanity's quest for knowledge.
