EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Verges; Birch rod; Birkenruthe" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of knowledge and language. The print is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration from the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. The image features three different terms - verges, birch rod, and birkenruthe - beautifully depicted through intricate engravings. This illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German. As we explore this piece further, we are reminded of the importance of education during this era. Textbooks were highly valued as they served as gateways to knowledge for people across Europe. The inclusion of France's overseas departments and territories highlights the vast reach of this educational resource. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraver's hand. The monochromatic palette enhances the timeless quality of this artwork while adding depth and contrast.
