EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Ratel; Honigfresser" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of knowledge and language. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this illustration is part of a private collection. The artwork was originally featured in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" a comprehensive dictionary compiled by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne, Jouvet, this book aimed to provide readers with an extensive vocabulary in French, English, and German. Intriguingly detailed and meticulously engraved, the print showcases two animals - the ratel (also known as honey badger) and honigfresser (honey eater). These creatures symbolize ordinary words that were essential for everyday communication during that era. As we delve into this enchanting piece of history through its intricate lines and shading techniques, we are transported to a time when dictionaries were treasured sources of knowledge. This engraving serves as a reminder of how language has evolved over centuries while highlighting the importance of understanding different cultures through their unique vocabularies. With its rich historical context spanning across Europe - from Germany to England - this artwork invites us on a journey through time. It captures not only linguistic diversity but also reflects broader cultural connections within the continent during the 19th century.
