EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 1 for 'Métier d'un tonnelier de bas' of the Encyclopedia, 'Dictionnaire Raisonné des Sciences des Arts et Métiers' or 'Encyclopédie' (Encyclopedia of the Sciences, Arts, and Trades), directed by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, Paris, 1751-1772. This engraving depicts a workshop of a stocking weaver, showcasing the intricate process of creating hand-knitted stockings during the 18th century. The image is part of the extensive 'Encyclopédie' project, which aimed to document various trades and industries in France and beyond. The weaver is seen seated at his workstation, surrounded by his tools and raw materials. He holds a pair of knitting needles in one hand and a ball of yarn in the other, while a finished stocking hangs from a nearby peg. The intricate design of the stocking is visible, demonstrating the skill and precision required for this craft. This plate was likely produced in Spain, as indicated by the source location, Barcelona University Library. The 'Encyclopédie' project was influential in documenting and disseminating knowledge across Europe, and its impact can be seen in the high-quality engravings and detailed descriptions of various trades and industries. The 'Métier d'un tonnelier de bas' (Workshop of a Stocking Weaver) plate is a testament to the importance of the textile industry during this period and the dedication of the 'Encyclopédie' project to documenting the various aspects of human knowledge and expertise.
