EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Porc-epic; Porcupine; Stachelthier" takes us back to the 19th century when knowledge was sought through beautifully illustrated dictionaries. Created by the European School, this print showcases a porcupine or "porc-epic" in French and "Stachelthier" in German. Part of the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels" this illustration captures the essence of ordinary words from three different languages - French, English, and German. Published around 1873 by Armand Le Brun et al. , this dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of vocabulary across Europe. The intricate details of the porcupine's quills are brought to life through delicate engravings. This image not only serves as an educational tool but also highlights the artistic talents prevalent during that era. As we delve into history through this piece, it reminds us of how language unites people across borders. From Germany to England and France, these words transcend geographical boundaries, emphasizing our shared human experience. Displayed within a private collection today, this engraving offers a glimpse into early forms of general knowledge dissemination. It stands as a testament to both linguistic diversity and cultural exchange that continues to shape our world today.
