EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Furriers shop with muff-lined walls and pelts hung from the rafters, 1751-1777" transports us back to the bustling streets of 18th century France. Created by the renowned artist Denis Diderot as part of his monumental work, Encyclopedie, ou Dictionnaire Raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et des Metiers, this piece offers a glimpse into the world of traditional consumerism. The image showcases an interior view of a furrier's shop, where rows upon rows of exquisite pelts are meticulously arranged on shelving units that reach up to the rafters. The walls are lined with luxurious muffs in various sizes and styles. A shop assistant is seen attending to a customer near a window pane adorned with fur accessories. Diderot's intricate engraving skillfully captures the essence of this occupation - selling and working with furs. It highlights not only the craftsmanship involved but also reflects the fashion trends prevalent during that era. This snapshot provides insight into both an artistic representation and a documentation of historical trade practices. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece from Diderot's collection, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates a typical scene from 18th-century France while simultaneously reminding us of our ever-evolving relationship with fashion and commerce throughout history.
