EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a glassmaking factory, as depicted in Denis Diderot's Encyclopedia. Engraved by Robert Benard and published around 1770, this image provides a glimpse into the skilled craftsmanship and laborious process involved in creating exquisite glassware. The interior of the factory is ablaze with fires, illuminating the scene where artisans meticulously shape molten glass using an array of tools. The water trough nearby serves as a crucial element to cool down and solidify the delicate creations. Each worker is fully engrossed in their task, showcasing their expertise and dedication to their craft. The encyclopedic nature of this artwork highlights not only the technical aspects but also showcases various stages of production. From blowing glass at the kiln to rolling it out on a workbench, every step requires precision and artistry. This image transports us back in time to witness firsthand how these talented craftsmen transformed raw materials into beautiful works of art. It reminds us that behind each piece of glassware lies hours upon hours of hard work and passion for perfection.
