EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Poivre; Pepper; Pfeffer" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by an unknown European School artist, this print showcases the beauty of botanical illustration. The artwork was originally featured in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne and Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of ordinary words in French, English, and German. In this particular engraving, we are presented with detailed depictions of pepper plants alongside their respective translations in French ("poivre") and German ("pfeffer"). The intricate lines and shading bring these plants to life on the page while also highlighting their importance as seasonings in culinary practices worldwide. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into botany and natural history. It reminds us that knowledge can be found within the pages of books like dictionaries and textbooks. Through illustrations such as these, people throughout Europe could expand their general knowledge about various subjects. Now preserved in a private collection but made accessible through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images, this engraving continues to inspire curiosity about language and science even after centuries have passed.
