EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Chaume; Thatch; Dachstroh" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through dictionaries and textbooks. Created by the European School, this artwork is part of a private collection. The illustration comes from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. , published around 1873. It beautifully depicts three ordinary words - Chaume (French), Thatch (English), and Dachstroh (German) - each representing a different culture within Europe. As we delve into this piece of artistry, we are reminded of the importance of language in connecting people across borders. The intricate details in the engravings showcase the craftsmanship that went into creating this educational tool. Looking closely at the print, one can appreciate how it captures not only linguistic diversity but also architectural traditions associated with these words. From French chaume's traditional thatched roofs to German dachstroh's use as roofing material in northern Germany, this engraving provides a visual representation of cultural practices. Through its simplicity yet depth of meaning, this artwork serves as a reminder that even everyday vocabulary holds immense value in understanding different societies. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era where knowledge was cherished and shared through illustrated dictionaries like "Le Vocabulaire Illustre. "
