EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Card-Maker," is an engraving from the renowned Encyclopédie, a comprehensive encyclopedia published in France between 1762 and 1777. The image, created by the skilled engraver A. J. Defehrt, depicts a humble yet focused artisan at work. The card-maker, dressed in simple clothing, is intently concentrating on his task, meticulously cutting and shaping cards with the precision of a master craftsman. The print, which is engraved on cream laid paper, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of 18th-century France and the various trades and professions that shaped the country's cultural heritage. The card-maker's equipment, including his scissors, ruler, and piles of finished cards, is arranged neatly on the table before him, adding to the sense of order and discipline that defines his occupation. The print is a testament to the importance of the arts and crafts in French society during this period, as well as the meticulous attention to detail that was required of artisans in order to produce high-quality goods. The image is also a reminder of the rich history of graphic arts and the role that engravings and prints played in documenting and preserving the knowledge and culture of the past. Today, this beautiful and historic print is a prized addition to the collections of many prestigious art institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history of art and the various occupations that have shaped human history.
