Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Mulatre; Mulatto; Mulatte (engraving) captures the essence of 19th-century European knowledge and exploration. This intriguing print, part of a private collection, is an illustration from the renowned book Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands by Armand Le Brun et al. The engraving depicts three figures representing different racial identities - mulatre, mulatto, and mulatte. These terms were commonly used during that era to describe individuals with mixed African and European ancestry. The detailed black-and-white composition showcases the skill of the unknown engraver in capturing facial features and cultural nuances. This artwork serves as a window into the historical context of Europe's fascination with race and identity during this period. It offers insight into how language was used to categorize people based on their appearance or heritage. Beyond its historical significance, this print also highlights the power of illustrated dictionaries in disseminating knowledge across borders.
