EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tinman, a skilled metalworker from the 16th century. Created in 1849 by artist Jost Amman, this engraving is a remarkable 19th-century rendition of an original wood engraving from the Renaissance era. The image is extracted from the renowned book "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud. The print depicts a bustling industrial scene with towering buildings and factories in the background. Amidst this backdrop of progress and innovation, we see the Tinman diligently working at his craft. With focused determination, he operates a lathe machine to shape pieces of metal into intricate designs. This portrayal highlights not only his technical expertise but also his dedication to perfecting his trade. The image evokes a sense of admiration for these unsung heroes who played crucial roles in shaping our modern world through their mastery of metalworking techniques. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals like the Tinman were vital contributors to society's advancement. In this monochrome masterpiece capturing both centuries' essence -the sixteenth and nineteenth- Jost Amman skillfully captures not just an occupation or profession but rather encapsulates an entire concept: industry itself. Through this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how human ingenuity has propelled us forward on our journey towards progress.
