EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of the Encyclopedia of Denis Diderot (1713-1784) and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, created by Cochin in the 18th century. The intricate artwork is an allegory, possibly representing Reason, with its profound symbolism and thought-provoking imagery. The composition exudes a sense of intellectualism and enlightenment that was prevalent during the 18th century, often referred to as the "Century of Light". It serves as a testament to the philosophical ideas championed by Diderot and d'Alembert, who were prominent figures in French intellectual circles at that time. The photograph captures every detail of Cochin's masterful work, allowing viewers to appreciate its complexity. It transports us back to a time when encyclopedias were not just repositories of knowledge but also reflections of societal values and aspirations. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography ensures that this historical artifact remains preserved for future generations. Through his lens, we can explore the rich cultural heritage embedded within this frontispiece - from its allegorical elements to its connection with French philosophy. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with human intellectuality. It prompts us to reflect on our own pursuit of knowledge and reason while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within these pages.
