EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into an artificial flower shop. The illustration is from Denis Diderot's renowned Encyclopaedia or a Systematic Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts and Crafts, published in 1765. The scene depicts a bustling workshop filled with craftsmen diligently working on creating beautiful artificial flowers. Each worker seems fully engrossed in their task, showcasing their expertise and dedication to their craft. This image transports us to an era where manual labor was highly valued and artisans took pride in their work. Diderot's Encyclopaedia was not only a comprehensive compilation of knowledge but also served as an emblem of enlightenment thinking during that period. It aimed to disseminate knowledge across various fields, including arts and crafts like this one. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the importance placed on skilled occupations such as floristry. The intricate details captured by the engraving highlight the precision required for each delicate petal and stem. This print serves as a testament to both Diderot's intellectual pursuits and the significance attributed to craftsmanship during that era. It invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in creating something seemingly simple yet undeniably beautiful – artificial flowers that bring joy through their lifelike appearance.
