EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Nain; Dwarf; Zwerg" by the European School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was created for the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide knowledge and understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. The engraving depicts a dwarf or nain as it is referred to in French. It beautifully captures the unique features of this individual with great attention to detail. This portrayal serves as a reminder that diversity exists not only in language but also among people. Dwarfs have long fascinated societies across time and cultures due to their physical deformities or illnesses. In this image, we witness both compassion and curiosity towards those who are different from us. The artist's skillful technique brings forth empathy for individuals facing such challenges. As we explore this historical piece of artistry from Europe's past, we are reminded of the power of books and illustrations in expanding our general knowledge. This particular engraving offers insight into societal perceptions during the late 19th century while highlighting how languages connect us all across borders.
