Heat Kiln Manufacture Playing Card Press Smoke Working Workshop


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARD-MAKER, 18th CENTURY. The manufacture of playing cards" takes us back in time to witness the intricate process of card-making during the 18th century. A remarkable line engraving captured by a French artist, it beautifully showcases the laborious craftsmanship involved in creating these popular gaming tools. The image portrays a bustling workshop interior with a late 18th-century setting. Amidst billowing smoke and intense heat, we see a dedicated worker engrossed in his craft. With focused determination, he meticulously operates an impressive printing press while surrounded by stacks of freshly printed playing cards. The scene exudes an atmosphere of creativity and industry as other workers can be seen engaged in different stages of production. In one corner, a man tends to a kiln where sheets are being heated for further processing. The attention to detail is evident as each step is carried out with precision and expertise. This snapshot into history offers us insight into the artistry behind every deck of playing cards produced during this era. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane objects like playing cards have their own rich history and cultural significance. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into the past through this exquisite piece from their collection – truly capturing the essence of craftsmanship and dedication within this forgotten world of card-making artisans.
