This anonymous 18th-century Dutch print, titled "Man with a Costume of Bookbinding Tools", depicts a man fully adorned in the tools of his trade, a bookbinder. The man is wearing a hat and a garment made entirely of tools and supplies used in bookbinding. The humorous image highlights the meticulous work of the bookbinder. It belongs to a series of prints depicting different professions, known as "Costumes of Professions". The visual depiction, with its detailed tools and attire, provides a fascinating glimpse into the craftsmanship and practices of bookbinding in the 18th century.
