EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Design School" by Benoit-Louis Prevost, is an intriguing glimpse into the world of education during the 18th century. The engraving with etching on cream laid paper, created for the Encyclopédie in 1763, depicts a spacious amphitheater-like schoolroom filled with students and teachers engaged in various design-related activities. The ground plan is adorned with an amphitheater-style seating arrangement, where students sit attentively at their desks, some with diagrams and plans spread out before them. At the front of the room, a group of men and women, likely designers and architects, discuss and examine models and statues. A teacher, identified by his long robe and hat, stands at an easel, instructing a student. The room is filled with an air of creativity and innovation, as evidenced by the numerous floor plans and diagrams scattered about. The students, both male and female, demonstrate a range of ages and occupations, from young children playing with toys to older students diligently working at their desks. The room also features a playhouse, suggesting that design education extended to all aspects of life. This print offers a unique perspective into the design education of the 18th century, showcasing the importance of collaboration, creativity, and the exchange of ideas in the development of new designs and innovations. The intricate details and precise execution of the print make it a valuable addition to any art collection, museum, or educational institution.
