EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Parcheminier; Parchment-maker; Pergamentgerber" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of craftsmanship and knowledge. The print showcases a parchment-maker diligently working in their workshop, surrounded by tools and materials essential to their trade. The image is part of "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" an illustrated dictionary that aimed to bridge linguistic gaps between French, English, and German. Created by Armand Le Brun et al. , this comprehensive dictionary was published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet. Intricately detailed, the engraving captures not only the essence of a skilled craftsman but also highlights the importance of guilds and handiwork during this era. It serves as a testament to the rich history of craft industries in Europe. The scene depicted transports us to Germany's northern region or North Germany within the European Union. However, it also holds relevance beyond borders as it sheds light on general knowledge about crafts and manufacturing techniques prevalent throughout Europe during that time. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both historical context and artistic beauty. As we observe this print, we are reminded of how dictionaries like these played a crucial role in disseminating information across different languages while celebrating various trades and skills that shaped societies centuries ago.
