EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Courtiliere; Mole-cricket; Maulwurfsgrille" captures an exquisite engraving from the 19th century. This artwork, created by the European School, is part of a private collection and showcases the beauty of nature's creatures. Featured in the illustration are three different names for the same insect - Courtiliere, Mole-cricket, and Maulwurfsgrille - representing its French, English, and German translations respectively. The image was originally intended to be included in Armand Le Brun et al's book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" which aimed to provide visual representations of common words in French, English, and German. Rendered in black and white with intricate detail, this engraving offers a glimpse into 19th-century knowledge about animals. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on understanding various species during that time period. The inclusion of cricket imagery within this illustration adds an interesting layer to its composition. While it may seem unrelated at first glance, it highlights how diverse subjects were covered within educational materials of that era. From insects to sports terminology like wicketkeeper and cricket ground – this artwork encompasses both general knowledge and specific interests. Overall, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only the artistic skill behind its creation but also reflects upon historical perspectives on wildlife and education during the late 19th century across Europe.
