EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Isthme; Isthmus" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration for "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The artwork depicts an isthmus, a narrow strip of land connecting two larger landmasses. With intricate details and precise lines characteristic of engravings from that era, it transports us to a time when learning was done through books rather than digital screens. As we delve into the image's historical context, we discover its connection to Germany and England – countries known for their contributions to education and literature. The print serves as a testament to the importance placed on general knowledge during this period in Europe. With France being at the center of artistic movements during that time, it comes as no surprise that this engraving emanates elegance and sophistication. Its inclusion in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre" highlights its significance as an educational tool used by French speakers worldwide. Overall, this enchanting piece offers not only a glimpse into past centuries but also reminds us of the timeless value of expanding our vocabulary and understanding different languages.
