EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Giroflee; Gillyflower; Levkoje" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through books and dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection. The illustration showcases three ordinary words - giroflee, gillyflower, and levkoje - beautifully depicted with intricate details. It was originally featured in Armand Le Brun's "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" (Furne, Jouvet, c 1873), which aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of French, English, and German vocabulary. As we delve into this piece of artistry from the past, it transports us to an era where learning was cherished. The delicately engraved flowers symbolize not only linguistic exploration but also the beauty found within language itself. With Germany as its birthplace during the late 19th century, this engraving represents a fusion of European cultures united in their pursuit of knowledge. From England to France and beyond, these countries contributed to shaping our understanding of language through dictionaries and textbooks. In today's digital age where information is readily available at our fingertips, let us appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such educational tools in times gone by. This print serves as a reminder that even though technology has revolutionized how we acquire knowledge today, there is still value in exploring traditional sources like illustrated dictionaries for a deeper connection with language and history.
