EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Preteur (sur gages); Pawnbroker; Pfandverleiher" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of knowledge and language. Created by an unknown European School artist, this print is part of a private collection. The illustration was originally featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. , published around 1873. It showcases three ordinary words - Preteur (sur gages), Pawnbroker, and Pfandverleiher - in French, English, and German respectively. With its intricate details and precise lines, this engraving captures the essence of early 19th-century Europe. The image represents not only a dictionary entry but also provides insight into cultural connections between countries such as France, England (Great Britain), and Germany. As we explore this piece further, it reminds us of the importance of dictionaries as tools for expanding our knowledge. Illustrated dictionaries like this one were widely used during that era to aid individuals in their quest for understanding various languages. This print serves as a testament to the enduring value of linguistic exploration throughout history. Its presence on Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance while contemplating how language continues to shape our world today.
