EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 2 for Article 'Eperonnier' in the Encyclopedia 'Dictionnaire Raisonné des Sciences des Arts et Métiers' (Encyclopedie): This engraving depicts a factory producing spurs, an essential accessory for horse riding. The image is taken from the renowned French encyclopedia directed by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, published in Paris between 1751 and 1772. The encyclopedia aimed to document all branches of knowledge and was considered a significant intellectual achievement of the Age of Enlightenment. This particular plate, dedicated to the art of making spurs, offers a fascinating glimpse into the manufacturing process of the day. The factory scene is set against a backdrop of Barcelona, Spain, as indicated by the location note at the bottom of the plate. Barcelona University Library houses this precious piece of historical documentation. The artisans are shown meticulously crafting spurs using various tools and materials. The intricate design of the spurs is evident, with their distinctive rows of sharp prongs, or 'eperons,' designed to press against the horse's sides to encourage it to move. The workers are engaged in various stages of production, from shaping the metal base to attaching the decorative elements. The encyclopedia's detailed documentation of the Eperonnier factory not only showcases the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating these essential horse riding accessories but also offers valuable insights into the industrial processes of the time. This engraving is a testament to the encyclopedia's comprehensive approach to documenting knowledge and the importance of recording the intricacies of various industries during the 18th century.
