This print, titled "Spinnin wheel, 1751-1777" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of craftsmanship during the 18th century. Taken from the renowned Encyclopedie by Diderot & d'Alembert, this print showcases a woman diligently working at her spinning wheel. The intricate diagram in this engraving beautifully illustrates the inner workings of this wooden machine. The spinning wheel takes center stage as it sits gracefully within an interior setting, reflecting the industrious nature of trade and manufacturing in France during that era. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a skilled lady engrossed in her work. Her presence evokes images of countless women across the country who dedicated their days to such labor-intensive tasks.
