EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Eglantier; Sweet-briar; Heckenrose" transports us to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection. The image showcases a branch of an Eglantier or Sweet-briar tree, also known as Heckenrose in German. The intricate details of the plant are meticulously captured in this engraving, highlighting its botanical features with scientific precision. As we delve into the world of natural history and botany, this illustration serves as a visual gateway to understanding various species and their characteristics. It reminds us of the importance placed on expanding one's knowledge during that era. The engraving originates from Armand Le Brun et al's renowned work, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels".

With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this print offers us a glimpse into early scientific methods and general knowledge acquisition. It represents an era where illustrated dictionaries were not only educational tools but also works of art themselves.
