EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Barbeau; Barbel; Barbe" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by an unknown European School artist, it now resides in a private collection. The artwork was originally intended to be included in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. The engraving itself beautifully depicts three distinct terms related to facial hair: barbeau (goatee), barbel (whiskers), and barbe (beard). With intricate details and precise lines characteristic of engravings from that era, this artwork showcases the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. As we admire this historical print today, it serves as a reminder of how knowledge has been shared throughout centuries. It represents not only the importance placed on language but also the desire for individuals to expand their general knowledge through dictionaries like Le Vocabulaire Illustre. With its roots in France but encompassing multiple languages spoken across Europe at that time - including German - this engraving symbolizes cultural exchange within the continent during the late 19th century. Its inclusion in such an influential publication highlights its significance as an educational tool for people seeking linguistic proficiency or simply wanting to broaden their horizons. Overall, this intriguing artwork offers us a glimpse into both history and education while showcasing artistic talent from long ago.
