EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Echasses; Stilts; Stelzen" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, is a visual representation of stilts and their various names in French, English, and German. It was originally created for Armand Le Brun's book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published around 1873. The image transports us to a world where stilts were not only practical tools but also sources of entertainment. In this playful scene, we see a group of individuals engaging in a parlour game involving stilts. Their joyous expressions reflect the excitement and camaraderie that such activities brought during that era. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a simple illustration. It symbolizes knowledge and cultural exchange between nations as it presents words from different languages side by side. This illustrated dictionary serves as both an educational resource and an artistic expression. The fine details captured through engraving techniques highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating this remarkable piece of art. Its historical significance lies not only within its depiction of games but also within its portrayal of Germany's northern region during the late 19th century. Overall, this print offers us glimpses into past times while reminding us of the importance of language, playfulness, and shared experiences across borders.
