EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an engraving titled "The Oil Maker" by Jost Amman, a renowned German artist from the late 16th century. The image takes us back in time to witness the intricate process of oil manufacturing during this era. In this historical scene, we see a group of hardworking tradesmen engaged in various tasks related to oil production. The central figure is the oil maker himself, diligently grinding and pressing seeds with the help of a majestic horse-powered mill. Surrounding him are other workers involved in different stages of the process, showcasing their expertise and dedication. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; it offers valuable insights into not only Swiss industry but also German culture during that period. The presence of horses and farm animals adds an authentic touch, reminding us of the importance of these creatures as essential tools for labor. This engraving captures both the beauty and complexity inherent in traditional trades and occupations.
