EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a paper mill, specifically the Moulin en profil, featured in "The Great Encyclopedie" by Denis Diderot and Jean d'Alembert. The Encyclopedia, also known as the Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts and Professions, was a monumental collaborative work that aimed to compile knowledge from various fields during the 18th century. In this engraving, we are given a cross-section view of the French paper mill's inner workings. The intricate mechanism is on full display as it churns out sheets of paper with precision and efficiency. This image offers us a glimpse into an era when manufacturing technology was rapidly advancing. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every cog and pulley seems to come alive under Stefano Bianchetti's masterful hand. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand the industrial revolution unfolding before our eyes. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge throughout centuries past. This print belongs to a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder. Its inclusion here allows us all to marvel at the wonders of early factory industry while paying homage to Diderot's and d'Alembert's groundbreaking encyclopedia project.
