EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BOOKBINDING, 18TH CENTURY" takes us back in time to witness the intricate process of manufacturing pressed and gilded book covers. The image showcases a bustling bookbinding factory in France during the 18th century, as depicted in Denis Diderot's renowned L Encyclopedie. In this copper engraving, we see men and women diligently working together amidst an array of barrels, bookshelves filled with leather-bound books, and various tools of the trade. The skilled workers can be seen meticulously crafting each cover by pressing and gilding them with utmost precision. The atmosphere within the factory is one of industriousness and dedication to their craft. It offers a glimpse into the thriving industry that existed during this era, where bookbinding was not only a means of preserving knowledge but also an art form in itself. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully captured this historical moment through their expertly reproduced print. As we admire this piece, it serves as a reminder of the rich history behind every bound volume on our shelves today. Let it transport you to a time when books were lovingly handcrafted by artisans who poured their hearts into creating these treasures for generations to come.
