EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of needle making, as depicted in the Diderot Encyclopedie Paris from 1751-1780. The image captures a range of equipment essential for this delicate craft, starting with shears (14) used to cut wire and leading up to a polishing roll (13). The engraving beautifully portrays the various stages involved in manufacturing needles. The composition highlights the meticulous attention to detail required in creating these indispensable tools. Each piece of equipment plays a vital role in transforming raw materials into perfectly crafted needles. From cutting steel wire with precision using shears (14) to refining their surface through the use of a polishing roll (13), every step is crucial. This image offers us a glimpse into an industry that has long been integral to metalworking and manufacturing. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable skill and craftsmanship employed by artisans throughout history.
