EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Craft craft: the copper engraver in his workshop" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the world of traditional craftsmanship. The image is part of a comprehensive description of arts and crafts and workshops for young people, compiled by Johan Peter Vire and published in Nuremberg in 1790. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this labor-intensive craft, showcasing an elderly copper engraver engrossed in his work. With focused determination, he delicately etches intricate designs onto a sheet of copper using specialized tools. Surrounding him are various implements and materials essential to his trade - from metal plates to cartwheels used for printing. The photograph itself was taken by Leonard de Selva, who beautifully brings out the textures and details within the scene. The aged appearance adds an authentic touch, transporting viewers back to a time when such crafts were highly valued. This image serves as a reminder of the importance placed on skilled craftsmanship during that era. It highlights not only the technical expertise required but also emphasizes dedication and passion for one's chosen profession. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate both the artistry involved in copper engraving and its historical significance as an integral part of our cultural heritage.
