EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate art of wire making during the 16th century in Germany. Created by renowned artist Jost Amman, this woodcut engraving is part of his collection called "Das Standebuch" or "The Book of Trades". The image depicts a wire maker, also known as a wire puller, diligently working on his craft. Amman's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. The wire maker can be seen surrounded by various tools and materials essential for his trade. With focused determination, he skillfully pulls and shapes wires into delicate forms that would serve multiple purposes in society at that time. Accompanying this remarkable artwork is a rhyme composed by Hans Sachs, adding an extra layer of depth to the piece. Sachs was a prominent poet during the same era and contributed greatly to German literature. Beyond its artistic value, this print offers us a glimpse into the social history and craftsmanship prevalent during the 16th century in Europe. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of craftsmen like this wire maker who played vital roles in their communities. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical gem through their fine art reproduction expertise. This print allows us to appreciate Amman's talent while immersing ourselves in an era long gone but not forgotten.
