EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the world of ship carpenters. Based on an original manuscript illustration from the Chronique de Nuremberg, this 19th-century version beautifully captures the essence of their work. In this engraving, we witness a ship carpenter diligently engaged in his craft. With focused determination, he meticulously shapes a piece of wood using his trusty tools - chopping and planing with precision. The atmosphere is filled with concentration and dedication as he brings life to his wooden masterpiece. Transportation by water was vital during this era, making shipbuilding an essential occupation. This skilled worker plays a crucial role in constructing boats and ships that would navigate vast oceans and rivers, connecting distant lands. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing both the simplicity and complexity of woodworking. Every stroke captured in this print tells a story of craftsmanship passed down through generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, A Rivaud, Pierre Wolgmuth (or Wolgemuth), it serves as a reminder of how professions evolve over time while still preserving their core essence. It pays homage to all workers who dedicate themselves to their chosen trades – those unsung heroes who shape our world one meticulous stroke at a time.
