EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Moustique; Mosquito; Muskito" created by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was featured in Armand Le Brun et al's book, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands". Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. The engraving itself depicts a mosquito or gnat—an insect known for its buzzing presence and irritating bites. With intricate details captured through the artistry of the engraver, viewers can appreciate the delicate wings and slender body of this tiny creature. As an animal that belongs to the world of wildlife, mosquitoes have long fascinated scientists due to their ability to transmit diseases. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a valuable educational resource for those seeking knowledge about various subjects such as language learning or natural history. It represents an era when illustrated dictionaries were highly regarded tools for expanding one's vocabulary while also providing visual representations for better comprehension. Displayed against a backdrop of historical significance—Germany during the late 19th century—the artwork offers glimpses into European culture during that time period. Additionally, it highlights connections between different countries within Europe like England (Great Britain) and France. Overall, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to explore not only linguistic diversity but also our fascination with nature's smallest creatures.
