      Albrecht Durer's career was a wood engraver. Durer was born in Nuremburg, Germany and he was  the  son of a goldsmith...Durer was a born in Nuremberg, the son of a goldsmith, Even as a child he  showed remarkable skill in drawing. His father apprenticed him to wood engraver" (Chapter 14, Pg.  336).
