EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1568, we are transported back in time to witness the artistry and craftsmanship of a skilled clockmaker. With his focused gaze and steady hands, he meticulously manufactures hourglasses, ensuring the precise measurement of time. The wooden cases that house these carefully made timepieces are not only functional but also beautifully painted with intricate designs. The poem by Hans Sachs accompanying this woodcut adds another layer of depth to the image, showcasing the importance of this trade during the Renaissance period. It speaks to the mastery and skill required for such delicate work, highlighting the dedication and passion of craftsmen like our clockmaker. Jost Amman's detailed woodcut brings every aspect of this scene to life - from the texture on each piece of wood being hammered into place to the fine calligraphy adorning various tools in sight. The clockmaker's distinguished beard and hat further emphasize his expertise in his craft. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time when retail was an intimate experience between artisans and their customers. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people appreciated quality workmanship and sought out skilled individuals like our clockmaker for their needs. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder that behind every ticking second lies countless hours spent perfecting one's craft - a testament to human ingenuity throughout history.
