EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Maitre d hotel (a bord); Steward; Proviantmeister" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of European hospitality. The print, created by an anonymous artist from the European School, is part of a private collection and showcases three important figures in the service industry. The illustration was originally featured in Armand Le Brun's renowned work, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" published around 1873. This comprehensive dictionary aimed to provide readers with a visual representation of ordinary words in French, English, and German. In this particular scene, we see a maitre d'hotel (a bord), steward, and proviantmeister diligently performing their duties aboard a ship. Their distinct roles are highlighted through their attire and actions. The maitre d'hotel oversees the dining experience for passengers on board while the steward attends to various tasks related to passenger comfort. Meanwhile, the proviantmeister ensures that provisions are well-stocked for everyone on the vessel. Through this enchanting engraving, we gain insight into not only historical modes of transportation but also cultural exchange during this period. It serves as a reminder of how language plays an essential role in facilitating communication across borders. Overall, this print offers both educational value and artistic beauty as it captures an era when travel was still largely reliant on ships and highlights key figures responsible for ensuring smooth sailing experiences for all passengers onboard.
