Author: Carol Belanger Grafton
Pages: 208
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 9" x 12"
Item #: BK200
Price: $19.95
This wonderfully diverse illustrations depict both men's and women's working vocations, both familiar and unusual, and reveals a rich treasury of work-related vignettes in a wide variety of moods and styles. Familiar occupations - policemen and firemen, doctor and nurse, farmer and factory worker - are depicted with the less common vocation - bell ringer, candlestick maker, sword swallower, hatmacker, astrologer, and gravedigger. Many of the over 1100 black and white illustrations are 19th-century vintage, but some reach as far back as the late-medieval 'Book of Trades' by Amman and Sachs. This book of copyright-free illustrations is for anyone interested in the crafts and trades of earlier times.
