EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fishing, 1751-1777" captures the essence of the fishing industry in 18th century France. Taken from the renowned Encyclopedie, ou Dictionnaire Raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et des Metiers by Diderot & d'Alembert, this engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of fishermen during that era. In this detailed diagram-like image, we see a group of men working diligently on their boats as they navigate through calm waters. The fisherman at the forefront is seen holding a fishing net with expertise and precision. Their boat serves as both their means of transportation and workspace. The print emphasizes not only the importance of fishing as an industry but also its significance in providing food for communities across France. It showcases how these hardworking individuals dedicated themselves to their craft to ensure sustenance for their countrymen. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this piece, transporting us back to an era where life revolved around manual labor and close connection with nature. Through Jean Denis Diderot's artistic vision and Jean le Rond d'Alembert's meticulous attention to detail, we are able to appreciate the skill and dedication required in this profession. As we admire this artwork from a private collection today, it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers insight into an important aspect of French history - one that shaped both livelihoods and cuisine alike.
