EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Flemish era of 1520. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a scene from the bustling world of trade and commerce. In this historical image, we find ourselves inside an office where weights and measures play a crucial role in everyday business transactions. A diligent clerk is seen meticulously weighing goods on a scale while surrounded by various tools of the trade. Glass containers filled with different materials line the shelves, representing the diverse range of products being traded during that period. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every element has been carefully depicted to provide insight into the applied industrial arts of that time. This engraving was originally published as part of "The Industrial Arts" a comprehensive work commissioned by the Board of Education around 1890. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, this image has been beautifully cleaned up for our viewing pleasure today. It serves as both a visual reminder and educational resource about Flemish history and its significant contributions to global trade. This particular print is part of a private collection but can be enjoyed by all through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Let yourself be transported back centuries as you explore this fascinating snapshot from an era when commerce thrived amidst meticulous measurements and skilled clerks ensured fair trades were conducted daily.
