Description
In this 18th Century hand colored engraving, we can see how tradesmen once secured ladders to reach the highest parts of vaulted ceilings in order to paint them. This print would be a great gift for anyone in the building trades! The print is made from a copper plate engraving from the publication of Dennis Diderot's landmark Encyclopedie in France. Diderot (1713-84) began the work on the compendium in 1745. The print is matted in acid-free materials and installed in a c.2000 decorative gold frame. A label on the back identifies the print dealer in Bethesda, Maryland. Print size is 9.5" x 7", and the frame size is 15"x12". Other, similarly framed building & technology prints in my shop are 4152AUC2. 4152AUC3. 4152AUC4, 4152AUC5. 4152AUC6 Item ID: 4152AUC1
