EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Couvert; Knife and fork; Tafelbesteck" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into European dining culture. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown European School artist. The illustration showcases a set of cutlery consisting of a knife and fork, commonly known as "couvert" in French or "Tafelbesteck" in German. It was originally featured in the book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published around 1873. This dictionary aimed to provide readers with everyday vocabulary words in three languages - French, English, and German. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight the elegance of these essential table utensils. The knife's sharp blade stands out against its ornate handle while the fork's tines are delicately crafted for practicality. A napkin is also depicted alongside the cutlery set, emphasizing proper table etiquette during meals. Through this engraving, we gain insight into not only historical dining practices but also linguistic connections between different cultures. It serves as a reminder that language has always played an important role in facilitating communication across borders. Overall, this print offers both aesthetic appeal and educational value as it transports viewers to an era where knowledge was sought through beautifully illustrated dictionaries like Le Vocabulaire Illustre.
