EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Card-Maker," is an engraving with etching on cream laid paper, created by the skilled artist A. J. Defehrt in the mid-18th century. The image is taken from the renowned French encyclopedia, Encyclopédie, published between 1762 and 1777. The meticulously detailed depiction showcases a card-maker at work in his humble country setting. With a focused expression, he deftly cuts and shapes cards using a pair of scissors and a ruler, while a stack of freshly made cards sits nearby. The industrial equipment, including a wooden press and a pile of cardboard, speaks to the growing importance of the card-making industry during this period. The figures in this illustration, produced by Defehrt and engraved by Antoine Claude Briasson and Laurent Durand, offer a glimpse into the daily life and culture of France during the Enlightenment era. This historic artwork, with its intricate details and conceptual significance, is a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition, showcasing the rich heritage of art and industry in France.
