Martin Engelbrecht: A male and female cook (1730)

(Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich, Germany)

Two engravings made by the German artist Martin Engelbrecht (1684-1756). These two pictures come from the book "Assemblage nouveau des manouvries habilles: Neu-eröffnete Sammlung der mit ihren eigenen Arbeiten und Werckzeugen eingekleideten Künstlern, Handwerckern und Professionen", a collection of engravings which shows various caricatures of different types of tradesmen and their wives, with the costume, tools, and apparatus of their craft. In this case it shows a male and a female cook. Prints from 1730.
