Le Vocabulaire Illustre - Greffier; Clerk; Kanzlist (engraving) - A Glimpse into 19th Century European Language Learning
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, part of the private collection by Bridgeman Images, takes us back to the 19th century when language learning was a pursuit of great importance. The print is an illustration from "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" a comprehensive dictionary published in France around 1873. The image showcases three figures representing different linguistic roles: the greffier (clerk), clerk, and kanzlist. These individuals were responsible for recording and organizing information in various contexts such as legal proceedings or administrative tasks. Their presence highlights the significance placed on accurate communication during this era. The artwork not only captures the essence of these language-related professions but also symbolizes a broader cultural exchange between nations. With its inclusion of French, English, and German words alongside their corresponding illustrations, it emphasizes the value placed on multilingualism as a means to foster understanding across borders. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we are reminded of how knowledge was once disseminated through printed materials like dictionaries and textbooks. This engraving serves as a testament to our ancestors' dedication to expanding their general knowledge and improving communication skills across Europe. Through this remarkable piece of artistry from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the beauty of traditional engravings and gain insight into how language learning has evolved over time.
