NOTE: THIS VOLUME IN THE DIDEROT/D'ALEMBERT SERIES OF 40 VOLUMES IS IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY DIDEROT/d'ALEMBERT's L'ENCYCLOPEDIE Volume on PRINTING EQUIPMENT and TECHNIQUES! FACSIMILE of the ORIGINAL, and ONE of a SERIES of volumes published by Denis DIDEROT and Jean D'ALEMBERT in 1758 as L'Encyclopedie Diderot & D'Alembert This recent copy of the famous L'ENCYCLOPEDIE was produced in Paris by Bibliotheque De l'lmage. The book is 9" X 12.5" X 0.5", and consists of the ENTIRE ORIGINAL TEXT (in French) and OVER 80 FULL PAGE B/W ENGRAVINGS and PLATES On Heavy Paper and WONDERFUL DETAIL!!! Diderot's 18th-Century efforts were phenomenal in that the project produced literally thousands of wonderfully-detailed engravings and bookplates that REVEALED GREAT MYSTERIES and secrets not only of TECHNIQUES and EQUIPMENT used in PRINTING employed centuries ago and detailed in the volume now up for auction, but of Astronomy, Tanning, Agriculture, Printing, Metal-founding, Ceramics, Goldsmithing, Science and the many other technologies of the world on the eve of the Industrial Revolution! Diderot was persecuted for decades by Jesuit Priests and the French government (he lost his editorial partner, d'Alembert, in the process), but was delightfully persistent in his efforts to reveal the state of human affairs near the end of the 18th Century. This facsimile volume of DIDEROT & d'ALEMBERT's L'ENCYCLOPEDIE is offered here at NO RESERVE and an extremely reasonable starting bid! The PLATES ALONE in this volume, with others in the series, provide a SPECTACULAR COLLECTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS from the era covering every aspect of life and culture in "modern" Europe centuries ago!
