Jost Amman
Jost Amman (June 13, 1539 – March 17, 1591) was a Swiss-German artist, celebrated chiefly for his woodcuts, done mainly for book illustrations. Early life Amman was born in Zürich, the son of a professor of Classics and Logic. He was himself well-educated.

He was one of the last major producers of woodcuts for books, as during his career engravings were gradually taking over that role. Although like ...
