This collection of woodcuts provides a fascinating glimpse into various trades and occupations during that era. In this particular engraving, we see a skilled wood turner at work. His hands expertly manipulate the lathe as he transforms a block of wood into an exquisite piece of craftsmanship. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line and curve captures the essence of his craft.
