Jean d'Alembert was a prominent figure in the field of printing and engraving during the late 18th century. His contributions to the art of printmaking are evident in his notable works such as "Imprimerie en Taille Douce, Developpement de la Presse: pl. II" and "Imprimerie en Taille Douce: pl. I". These prints showcase his mastery of the technique, displaying intricate details and precise execution. Although little is known about the creator of these prints, their significance cannot be undermined. The use of etching techniques can be observed in "Gravure al Eau Forte, Machine a Balotter: pl. VI", which further exemplifies d'Alembert's expertise in this medium. In addition to his prowess in printmaking, Jean d'Alembert also had an artistic side that extended beyond paper and ink.

Furthermore, d'Alembert's interests were not limited to art alone; he also delved into various other fields such as paper making and fishing. His involvement in activities like sea fishing for herring and sardines as well as salmon fishing demonstrates his diverse range of skills and passions. Moreover, Jean d'Alembert was involved in industrial processes such as smelting iron furnace operations. His knowledge extended to tasks like salting, washing, and packing sardines too. Overall, Jean d'Alembert was a multi-talented individual who left an indelible mark on both the world of artistry through his exceptional prints and portraits by renowned artists like Maurice-Quentin de La Tour; but also on various industries including paper making, fishing (herring/sardines), salmon fishing; even extending his expertise to industrial processes like smelting iron furnace operations.
