EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Echanson; Cup-bearer; Mundschenk" created by the European School in the 19th century. This artwork is part of a private collection and showcases a scene from courtly life. The illustration was originally intended for Armand Le Brun et al's book, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published by Furne, Jouvet around 1873. In this black and white depiction, we see a man dressed as a cup-bearer or echanson holding a wine goblet. He stands amidst an atmosphere of elegance and royalty. The finely detailed engravings highlight his role as someone who serves drinks to nobility during important gatherings and events. This artwork not only reflects the cultural practices of 19th-century Europe but also provides insight into the historical significance of alcohol consumption in society. It represents knowledge and language exchange between France, England (Great Britain), and Germany through its trilingual vocabulary illustrations. The image evokes curiosity about courtly traditions while reminding us of the importance of dictionaries and textbooks in expanding our general knowledge. Through this engraving, we are transported back to an era where wine played a central role in social interactions among aristocrats across different European nations.
