This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Course; Horse-race; Pferderennen" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the world of horse racing. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist. The illustration originally appeared in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" a comprehensive dictionary published around 1873. It aimed to provide readers with a visual representation of everyday words in French, English, and German. In this particular print, we see a thrilling horse race taking place on a racetrack. The black and white tones add depth and intensity to the scene while emphasizing the speed and power of these magnificent animals. Spectators eagerly watch from the sidelines as jockeys guide their horses towards victory. The artwork not only captures the excitement of horse racing but also serves as a testament to the cultural exchange between nations during that time period. With references to Germany, England (Great Britain), France (including its overseas departments and territories), this engraving showcases how language learning can bridge gaps between different countries within Europe. Overall, this historic piece offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into both sporting events and educational materials from the 19th century.
