Diderot's 18th-Century efforts were phenomenal in that the project produced literally thousands of wonderfully-detailed engravings and bookplates that
REVEALED GREAT MYSTERIES
and secrets of not only of
MINTING COINS, MONEY, and WORKING GOLD
detailed in the volume now up for auction, but of
Carpentry, Astronomy, Locks and Locksmithing, Tanning, Agriculture, Printing, Metal-founding, Ceramics, Writing, Science
and the many other technologies of the world on the eve of the Industrial Revolution!
Diderot was persecuted for decades by Jesuit Priests and the French government (he lost his editorial partner, d'Alembert, in the process), but was delightfully persistent in his efforts to reveal the state of human affairs near the end of the 18th Century.
