EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a needle making workshop during the 18th century. The image showcases the meticulous process of crafting needles, which remained virtually unchanged for nearly two centuries. In this bustling French factory, we witness skilled workers engaging in specific monotonous tasks that contribute to the creation of these essential tools. Each step is carefully depicted: cutting needle lengths from steel wire, flattening the end, stamping and punching the eye, filing and pointing the end, and finally polishing. These individual tasks are carried out by dedicated craftsmen who have mastered their trade. The engraving captures not only the physical labor but also provides a glimpse into the atmosphere of this metalworking industry. Men can be seen hunched over workbenches inside a building filled with activity. Their concentration is evident as they diligently focus on their respective roles. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in an era when manufacturing was still largely reliant on manual labor. It reminds us of our ancestors' dedication to perfecting their craft through repetitive yet vital processes. Denis Diderot and Jean d'Alembert's Encyclopedie played a significant role in documenting various trades and professions during this period of industrial development. This particular print offers valuable insight into one such occupation that contributed greatly to society's needs at that time - needle making.
