EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Chardonneret; Goldfinch; Distelfink" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, is an illustration for the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of three different names for a goldfinch - chardonneret in French, distelfink in German, and goldfinch in English. It serves as an educational tool to expand one's vocabulary across multiple languages. Dating back to c. 1873 and originating from Germany, this piece represents not only a dictionary entry but also a glimpse into the rich cultural exchange between nations during that era. Its inclusion in this illustrated dictionary highlights its significance as an ordinary word with diverse translations. The intricate details of this engraving showcase the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during the 19th century. With its historical value and artistic merit, it offers viewers a window into both linguistic diversity and ornithological fascination. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and language barriers while enriching our understanding of different cultures.
