EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Belier; Battering-ram; Sturmbock" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a fascinating blend of art and knowledge. Created by the European School, this print is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the world of armament and battle. The image features three distinct elements - the belier (battering-ram), sturmbock (a type of battering ram used in sieges), and an intricately detailed illustration of a ram. These illustrations were originally created for Armand Le Brun's book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" published around 1873. In this engraving, we see the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of artwork from that era. The confrontation between man-made weapons and nature is evident as the powerful battering rams stand alongside an imposing ram from the animal kingdom. Beyond its artistic value, this print serves as a visual dictionary bridging different languages - French, English, German - providing readers with essential vocabulary related to warfare. It highlights how language can be enriched through imagery. As we delve into this historical piece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to an era where battles were fought with both brute force and intellectual prowess. This print reminds us not only of our past but also how art has always played a significant role in documenting history and expanding our understanding of various subjects.
