EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Fontaine (publique); Public fountain; Gemeinbrunnen" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of knowledge and culture. The engraving, created by the European School, showcases a public fountain surrounded by a bustling cityscape. The illustration was originally featured in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" a comprehensive dictionary that aimed to bridge language barriers between French, English, and German speakers. Published around 1873 by Armand Le Brun et al. , this book served as an invaluable resource for those seeking to expand their linguistic horizons. In this particular scene, we see a woman standing near the fountain with a bucket in hand. Water cascades from the ornate structure into the basin below, symbolizing one of the four elements essential for life - water. This depiction not only highlights practical aspects but also evokes feelings of tranquility and harmony within an urban setting. As we gaze at this enchanting image captured during Germany's late 19th century period, it reminds us of how far our understanding of language has come over time. It serves as a testament to humanity's thirst for knowledge and our continuous efforts to communicate across borders. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty while reflecting on the importance of dictionaries as gateways to understanding different cultures.
