EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1620 showcases a post mill, an architectural marvel of the seventeenth century. The sectional view reveals the inner workings of this windmill, with its main focus on the grain being fed into the millstones at its center. On the left side of the image, we witness a sack of grain being hoisted to the top of the building, ready to be processed. The unique design of this mill is highlighted by its ability to rotate on a central post, denoted as R in the diagram. This rotation allows for optimal positioning of the sails in relation to wind direction, ensuring efficient operation. Agostino Ramelli's intricate engraving beautifully captures both functionality and aesthetics. As we delve into this historical artifact from Ramelli's "Le diverse et artifiiciose machine" we are transported back in time to an era when windmills played a crucial role in food production. Flour mills like these were vital for grinding grains into flour, providing sustenance for communities across Europe. With its detailed depiction and monochromatic charm, this print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancements during that period. It stands as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness in harnessing natural elements such as wind power for essential tasks like milling grains – an enduring symbol bridging architecture, engineering, and agriculture throughout centuries past.
