EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Couvreur (en ardoises); Slater; Schieferdecker" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when knowledge was sought after through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. The engraving, created by an unknown European School artist, showcases the craftsmanship of a couvreur (slater) or schieferdecker (German term for slater) working on a roof made of slate tiles. Part of the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" this illustration provides linguistic insight into everyday words in French, English, and German. Published around 1873 by Armand Le Brun et al. , this educational masterpiece aimed to bridge language barriers across Europe. The image transports us to Germany's northern regions where slate roofing was prevalent during that era. It offers a glimpse into the life and skills of these craftsmen who meticulously laid each tile with expertise. As we admire this historical artwork, it is fascinating to see how different countries collaborated in creating such comprehensive dictionaries. This particular print serves as a testament to the cultural exchange between France, England, and Germany during that time. With its intricate details captured through engraving techniques, this piece not only educates but also evokes nostalgia for an era when books were treasured sources of knowledge. Fine Art Finder has once again preserved history through their collection from Bridgeman Images.
