EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Card-Maker," is an engraving from the renowned French encyclopedia, Encyclopédie, created between 1762 and 1777. The image was produced by the skilled engraver A. J. Defehrt, with the assistance of Antoine Claude Briasson and Andre Le Breton. The intricate detail and precision of the engraving on cream laid paper showcase the artisanal craftsmanship of the time. The image depicts a card-maker at work, intently focusing on his occupation. He is shown seated at a table, surrounded by an array of cards and tools. The card-making process is illustrated in various stages, from cutting and shaping the cards to embellishing them with intricate designs. The figures in the background add to the scene, providing a glimpse into the bustling industrial activity of the time. The encyclopedia, edited by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, aimed to document all aspects of knowledge during the Age of Enlightenment in France. The inclusion of this print in the encyclopedia underscores the importance of the card-making industry during this period. Today, this historic print serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of France and the intricacies of the industrial processes that shaped the world we live in. It is a testament to the enduring value of preserving and studying the past, and the role that art and illustration play in documenting history.
