EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "Oil Maker" takes us back in time to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the world of mechanics and craftsmanship. Created by Jost Amman, a renowned artist of his time, this illustration was featured in the Latin edition of "De Omnibus Illiberalibus Sive Mechanics Artibus" a book that explored various trades and professions. In this particular scene, we witness an oil maker diligently at work. Surrounded by horses and other animals, he operates a press to extract precious oils from their bodies. The intricate details captured in this small 8x6 cm print showcase the artist's skillful technique and attention to realism. The presence of verses by Hans Sachs further enhances our understanding of this ancient craft. Sachs was known for his poetic talent and often wrote accompanying verses for illustrations like these, adding depth and meaning to the visual narrative. As we observe this image, we are transported into a world where manual labor played a vital role in production and trade. The oil maker's grinder stands as a symbol of hard work and dedication required in such occupations during that era. Preserved within private collections today, prints like these serve as valuable historical artifacts that allow us to appreciate the artistry behind traditional crafts while providing insights into past societies' economic practices.
