EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Canotier; Rower; Ruderer" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection and showcases a sailor in his traditional canotier hat rowing on calm waters. The illustration originally appeared in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet & Cie. , this book aimed to provide readers with an extensive vocabulary of ordinary words in French, English, and German. With its intricate details and precise lines characteristic of engravings from that era, this artwork transports us to a time when dictionaries were not only sources of knowledge but also works of art. It reminds us how language connects people across borders and cultures. The presence of the canotier hat suggests that the scene may be set in France or another European country where such headgear was popular among sailors. This print serves as a visual representation of the diverse linguistic landscape within Europe during the 19th century. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for our enjoyment today. As we admire this engraving's beauty and craftsmanship, we are reminded of how art continues to bridge gaps between different periods in history while capturing moments that transcend time itself.
