EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of engineering history - a plough used to deepen navigable rivers and canals. The image is extracted from the renowned book "Architecture Hydraulique" by Bernard Forest de Belidor, published in Paris in 1737. Crafted through an intricate copperplate engraving technique, this print exudes both artistic finesse and technical precision. The plough depicted in the image stands as a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of improving water transport systems during that era. With its sturdy construction and horse-powered mechanism, it symbolizes the power of civil engineering in shaping our world. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when rivers and canals played a vital role in transportation networks. This plough was instrumental in deepening these waterways, allowing for smoother navigation and facilitating trade between distant regions. Beyond its historical significance, this print serves as a reminder of how architecture intertwines with hydraulics to harness the power of water for societal progress. It prompts us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within this image but also the profound impact such innovations have had on our lives today.
