EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Tire-pave; Stone-sucker; Steinsauger" takes us back to the 19th century, a time of great innovation and cultural exchange. The engraving, created by the European School, showcases a fascinating contraption known as the tire-pave or stone-sucker in English and Steinsauger in German. Part of Armand Le Brun's renowned work "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" this illustration provides an insightful glimpse into everyday vocabulary in French, English, and German. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet & Cie. , this illustrated dictionary aimed to bridge language barriers and promote cross-cultural understanding. The image transports us to Germany during this period when it was divided into several states before its unification. It serves as a reminder of the diverse linguistic landscape that existed within Europe at that time. With England also featured prominently on the map depicted in the engraving, we are reminded of Britain's influential role during this era. As we explore this historical artifact from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are invited to delve into a world where knowledge was sought after through dictionaries and textbooks. This print not only captures an important moment in European history but also highlights the power of language as a tool for communication across borders.
