Abstract
In the celebrated series of prints 'The Miseries and Misfortunes of War (1633), Jacques Callot depicts an executioner striking the same pose that was widely used durin ghte period to represent the operator of a copperplate roller press. Taking this parallel as a starting point, this essay explores the representation of the pressman and the printers' workshop in relationship to Callot's depiction of the soldier's life.
