EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Patisserie, 1751-1777" offers a glimpse into the world of French pastry-making during the 18th century. Taken from the renowned Encyclopedie by Diderot & d'Alembert, this print showcases the traditional craft and preparation methods employed in a bustling patisserie of that era. The illustration transports us to an interior kitchen where women are diligently working with various kitchen utensils and equipment. The chef can be seen skillfully creating delectable pastries while others engage in different tasks related to baking. The presence of fire signifies the essential role it played in cooking during those times. Every detail is meticulously captured, from the mortar and pestle used for grinding ingredients to the baking tray filled with mouthwatering treats waiting to be devoured. This monochrome engraving beautifully captures not only the physical aspects but also conveys a sense of dedication and passion that went into every creation. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of France's rich culinary heritage and its influence on gastronomy worldwide. It serves as a testament to how food has always been an integral part of culture and society throughout time. This remarkable piece provides us with insight into both a specific occupation within French society at that time as well as offering glimpses into daily life during this period. Its artistic value lies not only in its accuracy but also in its ability to transport us back centuries ago when these skilled artisans worked tirelessly
