EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Cassier; Cassia; Cassienbaum (engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century European knowledge and language. This black and white illustration, created by an unknown European School artist, is part of a private collection. The artwork was originally featured in Armand Le Brun's renowned book, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published by Furne, Jouvet around 1873. The engraving beautifully depicts three ordinary words - cassier (cashier), cassia (a type of plant), and cassienbaum (Cassian tree). As we delve into this piece from the late nineteenth century, we are transported to a time when dictionaries were highly valued sources of general knowledge. The detailed illustration showcases the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating such textbooks. This print not only serves as a visual representation of vocabulary but also provides insight into cultural exchanges between France, England, Germany and other parts of Europe during this period. It reminds us how language connects people across borders and highlights the importance of understanding different languages for effective communication. Whether you appreciate art or have an interest in linguistics or history, this engraving offers a glimpse into the intellectual pursuits of past generations while inviting contemplation on our own modern-day relationship with language.
