EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plumbing, 1751-1777" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of plumbing during the 18th century. Taken from the renowned Encyclopedie, ou Dictionnaire Raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et des Metiers by Diderot & d'Alembert, this engraving showcases the intricate diagrams and tools employed by French plumbers of that era. The image transports us to an interior setting where two men are diligently engaged in their occupation. With focused expressions on their faces, they skillfully manipulate various plumbing instruments to ensure efficient water flow within a building. This snapshot captures not only their physical labor but also highlights the importance of craftsmanship in maintaining functional infrastructure. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this piece of art media. It evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when manual trades were highly valued and celebrated as essential contributors to society's progress. The print serves as both an educational tool and an artistic representation of human ingenuity. As we admire this print from a private collection, it reminds us that professions like plumbing have long been integral parts of our daily lives. Jean Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert immortalized these unsung heroes through their comprehensive encyclopedia – paying homage to those who work tirelessly behind closed doors to keep our homes and cities running smoothly.
