EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed illustration of a windmill, taken from the renowned Encyclopedie by M. Diderot and M. D'Alembert, published between 1750 and 1770. Created by Louis-Jacques Goussier, this engraving provides an intricate diagram of the inner workings of a windmill, offering viewers a glimpse into the fascinating world of agricultural economy. The image transports us to an era where grinding grain was not only essential for sustenance but also represented innovation and progress in mechanical engineering. The carefully depicted cogs and machinery within the windmill highlight its complex mechanics, emphasizing how this invention revolutionized farming practices during that time. With its rustic charm and graceful sails catching the breeze, this windmill stands as a symbol of human ingenuity intertwined with nature's power. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to harness renewable energy sources long before it became mainstream. As part of the larger Encyclopedie project—a comprehensive compilation covering various sciences, arts, and trades—this illustration offers valuable insight into agriculture's role in society at that period. Its inclusion in such an esteemed publication further solidifies its significance as both educational material and artistic representation. Now preserved in private collection, this print continues to captivate audiences with its historical relevance and technical precision. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' tireless efforts to improve their lives through innovative inventions like the windmill—an enduring legacy we can still appreciate today.
