EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Weighing with a steelyard (right)" takes us back in time to Nuremberg, 1547. The image is extracted from Gaultherus Rivius' renowned book "Architecture Mathematischen Kunst" showcasing the meticulous art of measurement and weighing during that era. In this woodcut depiction, we witness a scene of utmost precision and craftsmanship. A skilled individual stands beside a steelyard, an ancient balance scale used for measuring weight. With intense focus and concentration, he carefully adjusts the weights on one side while delicately holding the object being weighed on the other end. This process exemplifies the importance placed on accuracy and fairness in trade during those times. The woodcut technique employed in this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical significance. Each line etched into the medium tells a story of dedication to detail and mastery of craft. As we gaze upon this piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to an era where mathematical principles intertwined seamlessly with architectural pursuits. It serves as a reminder of humanity's unyielding quest for knowledge and understanding through scientific exploration. Without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations, let us appreciate this remarkable artwork for what it truly represents – an invaluable glimpse into our collective past where measurement, weighing techniques, architecture, mathematischen kunst intersected harmoniously under Gaultherus Rivius' expert eye.
