EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers" (Encyclopedia, or a Systematic Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts, and Crafts), is an exquisite representation of the mineral extraction and transport process, taken from the renowned 18th-century French encyclopedia by Denis Diderot and Jean d'Alembert. The image, created between 1717 and 1784, showcases a vertical scene of men at work in Catalonia, Spain, specifically in Barcelona's Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia). The intricate etching depicts a group of men engaged in the laborious process of mining and transporting minerals. The men, dressed in masculine attire, are shown using various tools and techniques to extract minerals from the earth. Once extracted, the minerals are loaded onto carts or wagons for transport to their intended destinations. This image is a testament to the social and economic importance of mineral extraction and transport during this period in Europe. The encyclopedia, published in Paris between 1751 and 1783, was a groundbreaking collaborative project that aimed to document all known knowledge at the time. The etching is a visual representation of the encyclopedia's comprehensive approach to documenting various industries and trades, providing a valuable historical record of the time. The vertical composition of the image, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites the viewer to explore the intricacies of this essential process and the people behind it.
