EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Barriere (de depart); Starting post; Auslaufeplatz" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into European culture and language education of that era. The engraving, created by an unknown artist from the European School, is part of a private collection. The image portrays a scene depicting various elements related to horse racing. A starting post stands tall in the foreground, indicating the beginning of a thrilling race. Behind it, we see a barrier or gate known as "Barriere (de depart)" which marks the boundary between spectators and participants. The detailed illustration serves as an educational tool for learning common words in French, English, and German languages. It was featured in Armand Le Brun's comprehensive work called "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published around 1873. This historical piece not only provides insight into linguistic knowledge during that time but also showcases the importance placed on dictionaries and textbooks for acquiring general knowledge. Its inclusion in this illustrated dictionary signifies its significance as an essential reference material for students across Europe. With its intricate details and monochromatic aesthetic, this engraving transports us back to an era when horse racing was popular entertainment and language acquisition played a vital role in intellectual development.
