EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "SCALE MAKER, 1568" takes us back to the mid-Renaissance era in Germany. Created by the talented artist Jost Amman in the same year, this artwork beautifully captures a scene from a scale maker's workshop. In this bustling interior setting, we see a skilled craftsman engrossed in his work. Seated on a stool at a sturdy wooden table, he meticulously files and shapes metal scales with great precision. His attention to detail is evident as he focuses on creating perfectly balanced scales for his customers. The workshop itself exudes an atmosphere of craftsmanship and authenticity. The window allows natural light to flood in, illuminating the space filled with various tools of the trade - files neatly arranged on the wall and calligraphy brushes resting nearby. A cape hangs from a hook behind him, indicating that this dedicated scale maker takes pride in his profession. A customer stands beside him, observing intently as he witnesses firsthand the mastery involved in scale making. The merchant seems satisfied with what he sees displayed before him – evidence of both quality workmanship and trustworthiness. Amidst all these details lies another layer of artistry: Amman's skillful use of typeface throughout the print adds depth and character to every element depicted. Overall, this woodcut print not only showcases the expertise of its creator but also offers us a glimpse into an important aspect of German manufacturing during that time period – where dedication to one's craft was paramount.
