EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nail smith" by Amman, Jost takes us back to the 16th century in Germany, offering a glimpse into the world of craftsmen and their trades. The image is part of the renowned Book of Trades (Das Standebuch) collection, which showcases various professions through woodcuts created by Jost Amman. In this particular woodcut, we see a nail smith or nail maker diligently at work. With his tools laid out before him and intense focus on his task, he embodies the dedication and skill required for such craftsmanship. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the artistry involved in creating everyday objects during that era. Accompanying this visual masterpiece is a rhyme penned by Hans Sachs, adding another layer of depth to the artwork. This poetic addition not only enhances our understanding but also provides insight into how these trades were perceived within society.
