EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Burette; Oil-can; Oelkanne" takes us back to the 19th century, where knowledge was sought after through books and dictionaries. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist. The illustration is featured in the book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this comprehensive dictionary aimed to provide readers with vocabulary from everyday life in French, English, and German. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving showcases three different oil containers: burette (French), oil-can (English), and oelkanne (German). It serves as a visual aid for language learners to understand these ordinary words across multiple languages. As we delve into this piece of artistry from the past, we are reminded of how valuable dictionaries were in expanding one's general knowledge during that era. This print not only captures linguistic diversity but also highlights cultural exchange within Europe. With its historical significance and artistic charm, this engraving transports us back to a time when printed materials were treasured sources of information. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and our continuous pursuit of understanding languages beyond borders.
