Abstract: 

Northern Europe in the 1500s was just hitting its commercial stride. Swiss artist Jost Amman documented scenes from this emerging mercantile economy in The Allegory of Trade (1585), an engraving that depicts the variety of forces that can bring success or failure to a business. A printing of this engraving is presented.
