Our copy of Martin Engelbrecht, New Assembly of Workers, published in Augsburg around 1730, is featured in the latest issue of The World of Interiors.
This remarkable series of 84 prints, in period coloring, depicts men and women dressed with the tools and accessories related to their profession—cobbler, bookbinder, watchmaker, butcher, sculptor, locksmith, and many others. Created in the heart of the Rococo period, this collection is a fascinating testament to the professional life and visual imagination of the 18th century.
Particularly rare in its period coloring, this collection provides an exceptional insight into the work of Martin Engelbrecht and the world of trades represented through these richly detailed compositions.
We warmly thank The World of Interiors for this beautiful spotlight, as well as for their interest in this exceptional work.
