"A Printer's Workshop" (c. 1642) is an etching by the French artist Abraham Bosse, who is renowned for his detailed representations of French society and professions during the 17th century. This work is particularly significant as it provides a historical glimpse into the world of printmaking and publishing during the early modern period, a time when the printing press was a revolutionary technology that transformed the dissemination of knowledge and ideas.

The etching depicts a busy scene inside a printer's workshop, with various figures engaged in the different stages of the printing process. The composition is meticulously arranged to showcase the array of activities and equipment involved in the craft, from typesetting and inking to operating the press and proofreading. The attention to detail in the illustration not only serves as a visual record of the technical aspects of printing but also reflects the social dynamics and labor division within such establishments.

Abraham Bosse (1602–1676) was a master of the burin—an engraving tool—and his technical proficiency is evident in the fine lines and textures that bring the workshop to life. His works often combined artistic skill with an informative perspective, making them valuable resources for understanding the cultural and professional practices of his time.

"A Printer's Workshop" is more than just an artistic endeavor; it is an important document of the history of the book and the evolution of print culture. The etching is held in high regard for its historical accuracy and is frequently referenced in studies of the history of printing and the book trade. It remains a testament to Bosse's ability to capture the essence of 17th-century French society and the intricate world of the artisanal trades.
