EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "A Baker, c. 1735" takes us on a delightful journey back in time to witness the artistry and craftsmanship of a skilled baker from the 18th century. Created by Martin Engelbrecht, this print showcases the intricate details of a bakery scene that is both enchanting and informative. In this image, we see an elegantly dressed baker donning a traditional costume adorned with symbols representing his craft. With a floral crown atop his head and a dough-filled basket at his side, he exudes pride in his profession. The tools of his trade are meticulously arranged around him – an oven emitting warmth and tempting aromas, various baking utensils waiting to be used for kneading and shaping dough. The focal point of the engraving is undoubtedly the baker himself, as he stands confidently amidst shelves filled with freshly baked goods. His hat adds an air of authority while emphasizing his expertise in creating delectable treats for all to enjoy. Through this personification of un boulanger (a baker), Engelbrecht captures not only the essence but also the significance of bread-making during this era. This print serves as a testament to the timeless nature of baking as well as its cultural importance throughout history. Displayed proudly within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this artwork offers us an opportunity to appreciate both artistic skill and culinary mastery intertwined into one captivating piece.
