Description
The most interesting book about old crafts. More than 450 photographs and engaging text will introduce you to old crafts that we now mostly know only from museums. You will learn how the crafts were organized, what brotherhoods, masters, journeymen, and apprentices were, how complicated the guild examinations were, and what privileges and obligations craftsmen had. In the descriptions of individual crafts, you will read about how craftsmen lived, the respect they received, and what they needed for their trade. This book presents 18 trades, such as pharmacy, bricklaying, glove-making, soap-making, etc. Further introductions to other, now little-known crafts will be brought by other books from Rubico publishing.
