EDITORS COMMENTS
The Barber (engraving) captures the essence of 16th-century barber shops, showcasing the bustling atmosphere and skilled workers of that era. This historical print, created by Jost Amman in the late 16th century, offers a glimpse into the world of trades and occupations during this time. In this lively scene, we see a busy barbershop filled with customers eagerly awaiting their turn for a shave or haircut. The image showcases the meticulous work of the barber as he skillfully tends to his client's facial hair. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, highlighting not only the craftsmanship of Amman but also providing insight into German culture during this period. The print serves as a testament to the importance of barbers in society at that time. Barbers were not just mere service providers; they were trusted professionals who played an essential role in grooming and personal care. Their expertise was sought after by people from all walks of life. This artwork transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic talent behind it. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, skilled workers like barbers contributed greatly to society through their dedication and craftsmanship.
