Allegory on the Commerce. Six original wood blocks. (1585). Each c. 29 . 33,5 cm (size in total c. 88 : 60,5 cm).
Amman’s composition is correct and spirited, and his delineation of the details of costume is minute and accurate. He was one of the last major producers of woodcuts for books, as during his career engravings were gradually taking over that role. With the writing in the circle, otherwise without text.
