EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of intellectual collaboration between two renowned figures in history, Jean Le Rond D'Alembert and Denis Diderot. Both distinguished for their contributions to philosophy, writing, and mathematics, they are depicted here engrossed in the process of printing type for their groundbreaking Encyclopedia project.
The intricate details of plate 1 for the article "Imprimerie in Lettres" showcase the meticulous work that went into creating the "Encyclopedie," a monumental work directed by Diderot and d'Alembert from 1751 to 1772 in Paris. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of their dedication to knowledge but also highlights their innovative approach to disseminating information through print.
Located in Barcelona University Library, this historical artifact is a testament to the enduring legacy of these two brilliant minds. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the passion and intellect that fueled the Enlightenment era.
Through Esteban's lens, we are given a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when ideas were transformed into words and printed onto pages that would shape future generations. It is a reminder of the power of collaboration and creativity in advancing human understanding.
