EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Colporteur; Pedlar; Hausirer" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of knowledge and language. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist during this era. The illustration comes from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" authored by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this dictionary aimed to provide readers with an extensive vocabulary in French, English, and German. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving depicts three figures representing different aspects of trade and commerce: the colporteur (a traveling peddler), the pedlar (a street vendor), and the hausirer (a door-to-door salesman). These characters symbolize the bustling economic activities prevalent during that time. The print offers a glimpse into daily life in Europe during the 19th century. It showcases not only linguistic diversity but also cultural exchange between countries such as Germany, England, France - all represented through their respective languages mentioned in the title. With its historical significance and educational value as an illustrated dictionary entry from over a century ago, this artwork serves as a reminder of how language has evolved throughout time while highlighting our continuous pursuit of knowledge.
