EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Measurement, 16th Century" takes us back in time to witness a fascinating moment in history. The image showcases sixteen men standing in a straight line, their heels touching the toes of the person behind them. This peculiar formation was used to establish the standard for the rute, a German unit of measurement during the Renaissance era. The woodcut artwork, originating from Germany in the 16th century, beautifully captures this significant event. Each man stands with poise and determination as they contribute to setting an essential benchmark for measuring distances. This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into how meticulous and precise measurements were valued even centuries ago. It reminds us of humanity's innate desire to understand and quantify our surroundings accurately. As we admire this striking woodcut print by Granger Art on Demand, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect upon how far we have come since those times. From these humble beginnings emerged modern systems of measurement that shape various aspects of our lives today. Let this thought-provoking image serve as a reminder that progress is built upon the foundations laid by those who came before us - individuals who meticulously measured and established standards like these sixteen men did so many years ago in Germany during the Renaissance period.
