EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The tongue sharpeners, Franco Estius, 1592" we are transported back in time to witness a fascinating scene of craftsmanship and industrial processes. The image showcases a group of skilled men diligently engaged in the art of sharpening tongues, aided by various tools and aids. At the center of the composition stands a large grindstone where one man expertly grinds away at a tongue with precision. Men can be seen carrying baskets filled with tongues, while others empty their load into an open door nearby. The atmosphere is bustling with activity as these dedicated craftsmen go about their work. Amidst this industrious setting, our attention is drawn to a woman observing from the sidelines. Her presence adds an intriguing element to the narrative, perhaps hinting at her involvement or interest in this traditionally male-dominated craft. Notably, anvil blacksmith tools are scattered around the scene, further emphasizing the connection between these tongue sharpeners and their counterparts in metalworking trades. Interestingly enough, quarreling women can also be spotted near an open door adjacent to where all this action takes place. This remarkable artwork by Quint Lox captures not only the technical aspects but also offers glimpses into human dynamics within such specialized occupations during Franco Estius' era in 1592.
