EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Fourchon; Prongs; Zinke" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of knowledge and language. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection. The artwork was originally featured in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" a comprehensive illustrated dictionary by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this book aimed to provide readers with an understanding of ordinary words in French, English, and German. The intricate engraving showcases three different objects: fourchon (fork), prongs (pronged tool), and zinke (German for tine). Each object is meticulously depicted with fine details that highlight their unique characteristics. As we admire this piece from the late 19th century, we are transported to an era when dictionaries were cherished resources for expanding one's vocabulary. This print serves as a reminder of how language connects people across borders and cultures. With its historical significance and artistic elegance, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Fourchon; Prongs; Zinke" captures our imagination while celebrating the power of words.
