EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Orgue (de Barbarie); Barrel-organ; Drehorgel" takes us back to the 19th century. Created by the European School, this artwork is part of a private collection and was featured in the renowned publication Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels. The image showcases an intricate illustration of a barrel organ, also known as an orgue de barbarie or drehorgel. This traditional musical instrument was widely used during that era, particularly in Germany and other parts of Europe. The detailed engravings beautifully capture its mechanical workings and ornate design. Published around 1873, this engraving served as an educational tool for language learners. It accompanied Armand Le Brun's comprehensive dictionary that aimed to teach French, English, and German vocabulary through vivid illustrations like this one. With its historical significance and artistic charm, this print offers a glimpse into the cultural heritage of not only Germany but also France and England. It symbolizes the rich diversity within Europe during that time period. Preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this piece serves as a valuable resource for those interested in general knowledge or studying languages from different eras. Its presence reminds us of how art can transcend time and provide insights into our collective pasts.
