EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling activity of salting, washing, and packing sardines in 18th-century France. Taken from the Encyclopedie, ou Dictionnaire Raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et des Metiers by Diderot & d'Alembert between 1751-1777, this image provides a glimpse into the fishing industry during that era. In this coastal scene, men can be seen working diligently inside a shed near the seashore. They are engaged in various tasks related to processing sardines for preservation. The print showcases their expertise as they meticulously salt and wash these small fish before carefully packing them into barrels. The presence of boats on the water suggests that transportation played a crucial role in this industry. These vessels were likely used to bring freshly caught sardines to shore for further processing. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this artwork while emphasizing the importance of each detail within its composition. It serves as a reminder of how people relied on natural resources like fish for sustenance and economic livelihoods centuries ago. This engraving by Jean Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert offers not only an insight into historical fishing practices but also highlights the significance of preserving cultural heritage through art media.
