Denis Diderot Engraving In frame: 34.7 x 31.3 cm Engraving: 23 x 17.5cm
An 18th century engraving from the Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, a monumental work intended to bring together all human knowledge. The engraving shows a workshop, probably a cabinet-making or carpentry shop, in which craftsmen are busy working with wood. Next to it is an overview of various tools such as saws, files, hammers, chisels, and planes, each carefully numbered and identified. The Encyclopédie was an influential work during the Enlightenment and consisted of thousands of such illustrations describing various crafts and disciplines in detail. These illustrations served as a visual reference for the tools and techniques used in the 18th century.
