Description

1793 Diderot Encyclopedia 59 Plates MILITARY War Weapons Swords KNIGHTS Forts

Through the mid-18th-century, large collections of knowledge were relegated to specific areas of study like law, medicine, or religion. However, Denis Diderots Encyclopedie changed the publics knowledge base as well as setting a standard for future generations of acquiring knowledge on many different subjects. This was the first encyclopedia to include contributions from many different named writers. It also was the first encyclopedia to describe work-related topics like agriculture, engineering, cooking, and trade.

One of the aspects that made this work so desirable was the incredible, detailed full-page engravings. In fact, the illustrations themselves were so sought-after that they were of published on their own apart from the encyclopedia.

This volume of De Planches, or the plates from Diderots encyclopedia include some of the following engravings:

Art of military

Forts, fortification, star forts, walls,

Building plans, construction â€“ forts and barracks

Combat arms: shields, helmets, armor, bows and arrows, swords, quivers, spears, crossbows, Chinese samurai costume, knights costume

Catapults, trebuchets
