EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a parchment sheet from a late 15th-century engineer's manual, providing us with a glimpse into the world of construction during the Middle Ages. The anonymous manuscript, originating from the Abbey of St. Peter in Solesmes, France, is adorned with intricate drawings executed in Chinese ink. The image captures various engineering objects that were essential for building civil, religious, and military structures at the time. Among them stands out a wheelbarrow - an ingenious invention that revolutionized construction sites by enabling workers to transport heavy loads with ease. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographed this historical artifact, preserving its delicate details for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, we can admire not only the craftsmanship of the manuscript but also gain insight into medieval urban planning and architectural practices. This photograph serves as a reminder of how human ingenuity has shaped our built environment throughout history. It highlights the importance of engineering and technology in advancing civilization and constructing monumental edifices that have stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back centuries ago when engineers relied on their knowledge and these simple yet effective tools to erect magnificent structures that still inspire awe today.
