EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us deep into the heart of a mine, revealing its intricate cross-section. From Denis Diderot's renowned L Encyclopedie, this engraving by Benard showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of Louis-Jacques Goussier. Created between 1751 and 1772, this historical artwork offers a glimpse into the world of mining during that era. The image depicts an industrial scene filled with laborers diligently working in their subterranean realm. The shafts are meticulously carved out, allowing access to valuable minerals hidden beneath the earth's surface. A ladder stretches from one level to another, providing passage for miners as they descend further into the depths. Every detail is carefully rendered in this print – from the tools scattered on the ground to the weariness etched onto each worker's face. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and resilience in pursuit of extracting precious resources from nature. As we gaze upon this cross-sectional view, we are reminded of the immense physical effort required for such endeavors. The dedication and determination displayed by these miners symbolize their unwavering commitment to their craft. This rare piece from a private collection allows us to appreciate not only Diderot's contribution but also Goussier's skillful interpretation through his engravings. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and how far we have come in terms of technological advancements within mining industries worldwide.
