EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled 'Tools,' is a stunning depiction created by A. J. Defehrt for the Encyclopédie, an influential French encyclopedia published between 1762 and 1777. The image showcases a variety of woodworking tools arranged meticulously on a table, with a craftsman in the foreground carefully using a chisel and hammer. The intricate details of the tools, from the coping saw to the mallet, are rendered with exceptional precision, highlighting the skill and artistry of Defehrt's engraving technique. The image, engraved on cream laid paper, is a testament to the industrial revolution and the cultural significance of the woodworking industry during this period. The tools depicted in the engraving were essential for the production of furniture, architectural elements, and other wooden objects that were integral to daily life in France and beyond. This engraving is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the techniques and tools used in woodworking during the 18th century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, industry, and culture. The image is attributed to A. J. Defehrt, with contributions from other notable figures such as Antoine Claude Briasson, Jacques Raymond Lucotte, and Laurent Durand. The engraving is part of the extensive collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, which houses an impressive array of historic and contemporary art from around the world.
