EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating image captures a moment in history, showcasing the intricate process of marking the edge of coins with a parallel-bar edge-marking machine. Taken from the Encyclopedie by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert in 1771, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of coinage during the 18th century. In this scene, we see men diligently working at their stations within The Royal Mint Museum in Llantrisant, UK. Surrounded by machinery and tools, they are fully immersed in their craft, ensuring precision and accuracy in every coin produced. The atmosphere is one of industriousness as these skilled workers contribute to the manufacturing process that shapes our currency. Denis Diderot's intellectual prowess shines through this artwork as he explores various aspects of industry and manufacturing within his encyclopedic work. Together with Jean le Rond d'Alembert, they provide us with an invaluable historical record that showcases not only technological advancements but also highlights the importance of craftsmanship. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while honoring those who dedicated themselves to perfecting their trade. It symbolizes both innovation and tradition - a testament to human ingenuity throughout centuries.
