EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 1659 English edition of Comenius Orbis sensualium pictus depicts a skilled shoemaker in his workshop. The image showcases the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating footwear during this period. In the center of the picture stands a mid-17th century Moravian shoemaker, surrounded by tools of his trade. He wears an amos, or leather apron, which protects his clothing from dirt and stains as he works diligently on a pair of boots. With focused concentration, he skillfully handles various materials and implements to fashion shoes that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The interior setting provides insight into the home industry prevalent at that time, where artisans like this shoemaker would often work within their own dwellings. A book lies open nearby, suggesting that education played a vital role in honing one's craft. This woodcut serves not only as an illustration but also as a textbook for vocational training purposes. It highlights the importance placed on practical skills during this era when manual labor was highly valued. Through this artful depiction, we gain appreciation for the hard work and expertise required to create quality footwear centuries ago. This print is not just a glimpse into history; it represents the legacy of dedicated craftsmen who contributed to society through their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to their chosen profession.
