The woodcut by Jost Amman beautifully captures the essence of this ancient craft. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of calligraphy that adorns the artwork. It's fascinating to witness how such intricate work was carried out centuries ago. Hans Sachs' accompanying poem adds depth to this visual masterpiece as it pays homage to the dedication and expertise required in this noble profession.
