EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite woodcut titled "Basin maker" by Jost Amman, a renowned artist from the 16th century. The artwork is part of the Book of Trades, also known as Das Standebuch, which beautifully captures various professions and trades during the Renaissance period. Accompanied by a delightful rhyme penned by Hans Sachs, this piece offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of craftsmanship during that era. The image depicts a skilled basin maker diligently at work in his workshop. With meticulous attention to detail, he carves and shapes basins with expertise honed through years of dedication to his craft. This illustration not only celebrates this specific occupation but also pays homage to all tradesmen who contributed to society's growth and development during those times. As we delve into history through this remarkable engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the bustling guilds and corporations that formed an integral part of Europe's craft industry. It serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing objects for everyday use. Reproduced in 1874 by Chapman and Hall in London, this print has become an invaluable source for historians studying both medieval customs and Renaissance artistry. Its inclusion in Paul Lacroix's comprehensive book on Manners, Customs & Dress further solidifies its significance within historical literature.
