EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Batiment (negrier); Slaver; Sclavenschiff" is a powerful depiction of the 19th-century slave trade. Created by an unknown European School artist, this print showcases a haunting scene from history. The image portrays a slaver ship, known as a "Batiment negrier" or "Sclavenschiff" sailing across tumultuous waters. The ship's ominous presence dominates the composition, symbolizing the horrors of human trafficking during that era. Its dark silhouette against the stark background evokes a sense of foreboding and despair. This engraving was originally featured in Armand Le Brun et al's comprehensive illustrated dictionary, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels". Published in France around 1873, this book aimed to provide readers with knowledge of everyday words in French, English, and German. Through its inclusion in this educational resource, the engraving serves as a stark reminder of Europe's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. It prompts viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about their shared history and encourages reflection on the lasting impact of slavery on societies today. With its detailed craftsmanship and historical significance, this print offers both aesthetic appeal and educational value. As we gaze upon it now, let us remember those who suffered under such dehumanizing conditions while striving for a more inclusive world where every individual is treated with dignity and respect.
