EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1530, immersing us in the bustling printing workshop of Bodocus Badius Ascensius. The image showcases a significant moment in history, as it captures the essence of communication and craftsmanship during that era. In this vertical composition, we witness four individuals diligently working together to produce printed material. The central focus is on a group of men operating an impressive printing press, their hands skillfully maneuvering its intricate mechanisms. Surrounding them are shelves filled with historical clothing and various tools of the trade. What truly sets this scene apart is the presence of a female compositor amidst her male counterparts. This detail highlights the progressive nature of Badius Ascensius' workshop, where women were given opportunities to contribute their talents in a predominantly male-dominated field. The woodcut illustration technique used for this print adds depth and texture to each figure's attire and facial expressions. It transports us into an era long gone but still resonates with our appreciation for artistry and innovation. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for gender equality within creative industries like printing.
