Impressive cross-sections of shafts and images men at work in the processing halls and foundries make this one of the most visually compelling suites from Diderot’s Encyclopédie. However these are not only attractive depictions of eighteenth-century mining and Earth Sciences they are a comprehensive guide to the operation and construction of the machines and tools employed. Diderot and Goussier ‘the third Encyclopédist’ who together visited many factories and workshops around France and Europe meant the Encyclopédie as a textbook and as a way of propagating new ideas and methods. For instance one of the largest sections in this suite is devoted to the famous Pont-Péan lead mines in Brittany where innovative hydraulic machines had recently been installed. Further plates demonstrate the arts of underground surveying and geometry the renowned slate quarries of Anjoun and the refining of mercury copper gold tin zinc and cobalt. No other publication had devoted this amount of attention to the mechanical arts before and none did again until the mid-nineteenth-century. These images are of considerable significance now as one of few records of mining practices and the mining machines of the eighteenth-century particularly interesting because of their attention to detail and their useful cross-sections and disassemblies.To accompany the plates are many relevant text entries including the main articles for Mine Minéral Minéralogie Minéraux Métal and Métallurgie by Paul-Henri Thiry Baron d’Holbach a French-German philosophe and encyclopédist author of the renowned Système de la Nature ou Des Loix du Monde Physique et du Monde Moral 1780.D’Holbach contributed around four hundred articles to theEncyclopédie a number of which were translations of Germanphilosophical works.Another important paper is on Regne Minéral and is an abrigedversion of a work by Charles Le Roy a French physician and professor of medicine at Montpellier University.

Mosaïque Mosaics Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers. Plates vol. 8.
Paris 1771. Folio 253 x 393mm. 14 pages of descriptive text & 5 loose plates with their accompanying 2 text sheets from the volume of plates. Slight browning to margins a little spotting otherwise very good. § The 5 plates and descriptive text for the entry of Mosaïque from volume VIII of plates. Plates are numbered 1-5. Plate 4 is a double plate.1 page 659 from volume VIII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Les Romains11 pages 78 79 & 741-750 from volume X of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Compartimens de pavés en marbre and Mosaïque en général.1 page 193 from volume XII of the Encyclopédie 1765 including L'usage des pavés en mosaïque à Rome.1 page 353 from volume III of the Supplément à l'Encyclopédie 1777 which includes Mosaïque de Herculanum.Included with these plates are several relevant entries on Mosaics including the main ten-page article by Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt. The article primarily concerns the role of mosaics in Christendom philosophy and also their manufacture. Despite focusing largely on the sciences Jaucourt has been regarded as an important philosopher as well. The article for mosaics is therefore a good example of this polymath's varied interest and specialties. The 5 plates largely concern the workmanship of this art and the atelier itself. 8 mosaic patterns are also reproduced including Europe Raised by Jupiter Neptune and his Trident and a Barge on the Nile. There is one double plate depicting the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina with various useful annotations. Thought to be the earliest Roman depiction of Nilotic scenes close examination suggests that it was produced in the reign of Sulla ca. 100 B.C. It is important for a number of reasons and could possibly be one of the mosaics referred to by Pliny in his Naturalis Historiœ. Having remained in the Barberini family since the 17th-century the mosaic can now be found in the Museu Nazionale Prenestino. unknown books

Plate 3 is continued on a second sheet Plate 4 is a double plate and plate 5 is a triple plate.1 page 822 from volume XIV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Observations sur les chevaux des statues équestres2 pages 497 & 502 from volume XV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Équestre StatueWith some browning to a few leaves.This suite of plates is noteworthy as a record of the practises of sculptors of this period. The illustrations and their explanations are influenced heavily by the writing and descriptions of Germain Boffrand. Boffrand had served as the first architect of numerous 18th-century noblemen and had been a witness to the casting of Louis XIV's statue by Giradon and Jean-Balthazar Keller. The statue was melted during the revolution and only a smaller model remains which can be found in the Musée du Louvre. On hearing of the troubles Lemoyne was having casting a similar statue of Louis XV Boffrand sought to assist Lemoyne recognising that he was the only remaining assistant who had taken notes at the earlier casting. Boffrand wrote his Description de ce qui a été Practiqué pour Fondre en Bronze d'un Seul Jet la Figure Équestre de Louis XIV enabling Lemoyne to complete his work although this statue was also later destroyed in the Revolution. Diderot's plates here presented are an almost exact copy of Boffrand's originals only shrunk and simplified to suit the Encylopédie's format.Included with these plates is the relevant entry for equestrian statues written by Jaucourt the 18th-century aristocrat who wrote around one quarter of the Encyclopédie voluntarily. unknown books
