EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Hamac; Hammock; Hangematte" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of knowledge and language. Created by an unknown European School artist, this print is part of a private collection. The illustration was originally featured in Armand Le Brun's "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" a comprehensive dictionary that aimed to bridge the gap between French, English, and German languages. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, this book sought to educate readers on ordinary words through detailed illustrations like this one. The image showcases three different names for the same object - hamac (French), hammock (English), and hangematte (German). It beautifully captures the essence of these cultures coming together through language. The delicately engraved lines bring life to the scene as we see a person leisurely resting in a hammock suspended between two trees. With its historical significance and educational value, this engraving offers not only an insight into linguistic diversity but also serves as a reminder of how dictionaries have played an essential role in expanding our understanding of different cultures throughout history. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece from the past, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and cultural importance even today.
