EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Gerboise; Jerboa; Springhase" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of knowledge and exploration. The artwork, created by an unknown European School artist, is part of a private collection. The illustration was originally featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" authored by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, this comprehensive dictionary aimed to bridge language gaps between French, English, and German speakers. As we gaze upon this intricate engraving filled with meticulous details, we are transported to an era where dictionaries were cherished treasures for those seeking linguistic proficiency. The image showcases three fascinating creatures - the Gerboise (a desert rodent), the Jerboa (a small hopping mammal), and the Springhase (an elusive hare-like animal). Through its visual representation of ordinary words from different languages intertwined with scientific curiosity and artistic finesse, this print invites us to delve into the vast realm of general knowledge. It reminds us that even in our modern age dominated by technology-driven learning tools, there is still immense value in traditional textbooks like illustrated dictionaries. This historical artifact serves as a testament to human curiosity and our unending quest for understanding diverse cultures through language acquisition. It stands as a reminder that knowledge knows no boundaries or time constraints – it transcends generations while enriching our understanding of ourselves and others.
