EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Needle maker" takes us back to the Renaissance period, offering a glimpse into the world of trades and craftsmanship during that time. The image is a reproduction from Das Standebuch (The Book of Trades), a collection of woodcuts created by Jost Amman and accompanied by verses written by Hans Sachs in 1568. In this particular engraving, we see a skilled needle maker diligently at work. His focused expression reveals his dedication to his craft as he meticulously shapes each needle with precision. The intricate details captured in this print highlight not only the artistry involved but also the importance of such trades during this era. The image transports us to an age where guilds and corporations played a significant role in shaping professions and ensuring quality standards. It serves as a reminder of the rich history behind various occupations, shedding light on how these crafts were passed down through generations. Published in 1874 by Chapman and Hall, London, this photograph print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent of Jost Amman's engravings and Paul Lacroix's comprehensive book on Manners, Customs & Dress during the Middle Ages and Renaissance Periods. Through its historical significance and visual appeal, this image invites us to reflect upon our own modern-day professions while paying homage to those who came before us - dedicated craftsmen like this needle maker who contributed their skills towards building societies throughout Europe.
