EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Eteignoir; Extinguisher; Loschhorn" by the European School from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts an illustration for the renowned book, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of three languages - French, English, and German - through its depiction of various extinguishing tools. It was published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet and serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to expand their knowledge in language acquisition. The image transports us back to a time when dictionaries were illustrated treasures that provided essential information. In this particular piece, we see different types of extinguishers used to combat fires – bonefires, braziers, campfires – all represented with vivid red flames symbolizing their destructive power. As we admire this artistic creation, it reminds us of the significance fire holds among the four elements. Moreover, it offers insight into historical firefighting practices prevalent in Germany during that era. With France being at the heart of this linguistic exploration and representation through artistry and education alike, we are reminded once again of its rich cultural heritage. This stunning print not only celebrates language but also pays homage to both French literature and visual arts from centuries past.
