EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, depicting the artistry and craftsmanship of a spur maker from the 16th century. Created by Swiss artist Jost Amman, this engraving has been reproduced from his original work in "Das Standebuch" (The Book of Trades), published in 1568. Intriguingly captured within the pages of "Manners, Customs, & Dress during the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance Period" this image transports us back to a time when spurs were not only functional but also exquisite works of art. The attention to detail is evident as we observe every intricately designed element that adorns these defensive weapons. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes apparent that being a spur maker was not merely an occupation but rather an esteemed profession within guilds and corporations. This illustration serves as a testament to their dedication and expertise in creating such essential tools for horseriding. Through Jost Amman's skilled handiwork, we are reminded of how tradesmen played vital roles in shaping society during this period. Their contributions to the craft industry were invaluable, providing employment opportunities while preserving traditional techniques passed down through generations. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print offers us a glimpse into both the past and present. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our fascination with history continues to inspire awe and appreciation for those who came before us.
