BAG MAKERS, 1568 - A Glimpse into the Renaissance Leathercraft Trade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodcut print by Jost Amman takes us back to the year 1568, immersing us in a bustling leather workshop. The scene depicts skilled craftsmen and vendors engaged in the making and selling of an array of exquisite leather bags, pouches, purses, and gloves. Amidst the backdrop of a charming German interior, we witness their meticulous workmanship as they fashion these fashionable accessories. The image showcases a variety of products on display – from finely crafted gloves to stylish handbags – all meticulously arranged on tables and counters. A glover is seated at his workstation with tools in hand, showcasing his expertise while crafting a pair of gloves. Customers can be seen admiring the craftsmanship or engaging in conversation with shopkeepers who are eager to assist them. The authenticity of this snapshot from history is enhanced by details such as calligraphy adorning signs and window displays that entice passersby. The presence of a hat-wearing gentleman adds an air of sophistication to this vibrant scene. Amman's woodcut masterfully captures both the skill involved in leatherwork during this era and its significance within society as an essential trade. This remarkable artwork provides us with valuable insight into not only the manufacturing process but also how people adorned themselves during mid-16th century Germany.
