EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Flagorneuse; Toad-eater; Speichelleckerin" takes us back to the 19th century, where knowledge and society intertwined in a delicate dance. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an anonymous European School artist. The illustration serves as an accompaniment to Armand Le Brun et al's renowned work, "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels". This comprehensive dictionary explores common words in French, English, and German. The image specifically depicts the terms "Flagorneuse" (French), "Toad-eater" (English), and "Speichelleckerin" (German). These words allude to individuals who flatter or fawn over others for personal gain. A woman is elegantly portrayed within this scene, symbolizing politeness and femininity. Her presence highlights the role of women in society during that era. As she holds the book containing valuable knowledge, it emphasizes her importance as a bearer of wisdom. The engraving not only showcases linguistic diversity but also reflects on societal norms prevalent at that time. It invites viewers to explore different cultures through language while shedding light on human behavior such as lying or deceitfulness. Overall, this print from Fine Art Finder serves as a historical artifact that captures both the essence of 19th-century Europe and the significance of language in shaping our understanding of society.
