My new user icon. It is a Jost Amman print called, "The Tailor" from the Book of Trades.

The caption which goes with it is:

The Tailor makes military tents, cloth for jousts and tourneys, Italian and French style garments of silk and satin for courtiers and ladies, of wool for commoners.

Where did you get the English translation for this picture?

Thanks! I thought that's where you got it from, but wanted to double check before I ordered it.

I like the on-line version you found too. Thanks for posting that.
