EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Chandelle; Candle; Licht" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought after through books and dictionaries. The artwork, created by the European School, is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration for "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The image depicts a candle in intricate detail, symbolizing enlightenment and illumination. It serves as a reminder of the importance of language and communication across different cultures. With its inclusion of French, English, and German words surrounding the candle's flame, it highlights the universal nature of vocabulary. The historical significance of this piece becomes even more apparent as we delve into its origins. Created around 1873 in Germany during a time when Europe was undergoing significant changes politically and socially. This engraving represents not only linguistic diversity but also cultural exchange within Europe. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported to an era where dictionaries were treasured possessions that expanded one's understanding of ordinary words. It reminds us that knowledge knows no boundaries or limitations - it transcends time and place. Intriguingly detailed yet elegantly simple in its execution, this artwork invites us to explore our own curiosity about language while appreciating the beauty found within everyday objects like candles.
