The "Frontispiece to 'Emile' by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78) c.1780" is an illustration created by the French engraver Charles Nicolas Cochin II (1715-1790) for the frontispiece of the influential work "Emile, or On Education" by the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The frontispiece is a visual representation that captures the essence of Rousseau's educational treatise, which was first published in 1762 and went on to become one of the most significant works on education during the Enlightenment.

Charles Nicolas Cochin II was a prominent artist of his time, known for his engravings and illustrations that adorned the pages of many books, contributing to the dissemination of Enlightenment ideas. His work on the frontispiece for "Emile" is a testament to his skill in capturing complex philosophical ideas through visual art. The illustration not only serves as an ornamental introduction to the book but also provides readers with a visual summary of the key themes and messages contained within Rousseau's text.

"Emile" itself is a seminal work that outlines Rousseau's philosophy on education and natural human development. It presents a fictional narrative of a boy named Emile who is raised under the guidance of a tutor, following Rousseau's educational principles. The book explores the idea that education should be tailored to the individual's developmental stages and that learning should be experiential rather than purely academic.

The frontispiece by Cochin is an important piece of art in the context of the Enlightenment and the history of educational theory. It not only embellishes the book but also serves as a cultural artifact that reflects the intellectual and artistic milieu of 18th-century France. The collaboration between Rousseau and Cochin for the creation of this frontispiece highlights the interplay between visual arts and philosophy during a period when ideas about education, society, and human nature were undergoing significant transformations.
