Engraved by Androue du Cerceau and featured in "Le Magasin picturesque" in 1852, this piece of art showcases the intricate mechanism that powered these ancient structures. The cross-section view allows us to appreciate the complexity and ingenuity behind this technological marvel. Every cog, wheel, and lever is meticulously depicted, giving us insight into how grain was ground into flour during this era. The attention to detail is remarkable, as each element is carefully etched onto the surface with precision. The artist's choice of black and white adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty of this engraving. It transports us to a different era when mills played a vital role in society's sustenance. Displayed within a private collection today, this artwork serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and technological advancements throughout history.
