EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a water mill wheel that was once used to grind wheat, serving as a powerful representation of a cam shaft. The intricate mechanism is depicted with precision and detail, highlighting the ingenuity of ancient engineering practices. A wooden dowel attached to a rotating shaft forms the cam shaft, which played an essential role in the operation of the mill. Dating back to 1630, this artwork originates from "De architectura" by Vitruva and can be found in the Biblioteca Trivulziana in Milan. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captures the essence of both architecture and agriculture through their engraving. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the technological advancements made centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and innovation when it came to harnessing natural elements for practical purposes. From its botanical surroundings to its connection with cartwheels and maps, this artwork encompasses various aspects of life during that era. Moreover, it symbolizes not only milling but also represents an integral part of cereal production - grinding wheat into flour. Giancarlo Costa's expertly preserved photograph brings forth these historical elements while showcasing his passion for capturing timeless art pieces. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of humanity's continuous quest for progress and how even simple mechanisms like water mills have shaped our world today.
