A 1927 German article by F. M. Feldhaus on Baroque engravings from Martin Engelbrecht's Augsburg series of about 1730, in which craftsmen and their wives are shown dressed in the tools and products of their trades. The text discusses the tapestry maker, black-and-fine dyer, stocking knitter, passementier (braid maker) and mercer, describing the tools, materials and costume details shown. It includes a note on a travelling face mask, citing Krünitz's encyclopedia. The plates, with French and German captions, are reproduced on the following pages.
