EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing the intricate process of oil manufacturing. A 19th-century copy of Jost Amman's original work, this piece beautifully captures the essence of medieval craftsmanship. In this illustration, we witness a bustling factory where skilled workers are diligently engaged in their trade. The central focus lies on a large millstone powered by a majestic horse, symbolizing both strength and partnership between man and beast. This ancient method involved crushing olives to extract precious oil that was vital for various purposes - from cooking to lighting lamps. The attention to detail is remarkable as each figure is meticulously sketched with precision and expertise. Every stroke brings life to these historical characters who dedicated their lives to this vocation. Their occupation not only sustained them but also played an essential role in sustaining entire communities during the Middle Ages. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that commerce has always been at the heart of human civilization. The manufacture of oil served as a cornerstone for business and trade during those times, highlighting its significance beyond mere sustenance. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate the artistry behind Jost Amman's engravings while immersing ourselves in centuries-old traditions that shaped our present-day understanding of food production and industry.
