EDITORS COMMENTS
Benoit-Louis Prevost's engraving, titled "Medal Engraving," is an intriguing and detailed illustration from the Encyclopédie, published in France during the 18th century. The print, which is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a medallist at work in his workshop. The medallist, depicted as a young man with a serious expression, is intently focused on his task at hand. He is seated at a workbench, surrounded by various tools and materials necessary for his craft. In the foreground, a hammer and chisel are poised above a medal, which lies on a piece of cream-colored laid paper. The medallist's left hand holds a small mallet, which he uses to strike the chisel and create intricate designs on the medal's surface. The engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the industrial process of medal making during the 18th century. The medallist's workshop is filled with an array of tools, including a set of engraving tools, a hammer, anvils, and a set of dies. The tools are neatly arranged on the workbench, suggesting a high level of organization and efficiency. The medallist's occupation was an important one during this period, as medals were often used as symbols of recognition, commemoration, and power. The intricate designs and detailed engraving on the medals required a great deal of skill and expertise, making the medallist a highly respected and sought-after artisan. Prevost's illustration offers a unique perspective on the medallist's work process, providing a detailed diagram of the tools and techniques used in the craft. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, art history, or industrial design, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the 18th century.
