EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Milliner" by Jost Amman takes us back to the 16th century in Germany, offering a glimpse into the world of hat making. The image is part of the renowned Book of Trades, also known as Das Standebuch, which showcases various professions and trades through woodcuts. Amman's intricate engraving skillfully captures the essence of a milliner or hat maker at work. We see a craftsman meticulously shaping and fashioning hats with great attention to detail. This snapshot from history provides valuable insights into the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating fashionable headwear during this era. Accompanying this remarkable woodcut is an engaging rhyme penned by Hans Sachs, adding another layer of depth to this visual narrative. Through his poetic words, Sachs brings to life the challenges and joys experienced by milliners in their daily lives. The tinted drawing adds a touch of vibrancy to the scene while maintaining its historical authenticity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found ways to infuse color and beauty into their creations. Beyond being an exquisite piece of art, this illustration holds immense value for social historians and literary enthusiasts alike. It offers a window into not only the craft itself but also broader aspects such as fashion trends, societal roles, and cultural practices prevalent during that time. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece from their collection - one that transports us back in time while celebrating both artistic mastery and historical significance.
