EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia photo captures the laborious process of making leather in the lime yard at Neckinger Mills. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases a significant aspect of Edwardian industry. In the image, we see dedicated workers tending to their tasks with utmost precision. The scene unfolds with goatskins being soaked in water-filled pits that are approximately seven feet deep. These skins will later be placed in limewater to remove any unwanted hair. The men can be seen diligently attending to their duties, ensuring every skin is properly cleaned and prepared for further processing. The industrial atmosphere is palpable as wheelbarrows filled with animal skins are transported across the yard. The photograph adds a sense of timelessness to this moment frozen in history. This image offers a glimpse into London's bustling leather industry during its heyday. It serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work put forth by these anonymous laborers who played an integral role in producing high-quality leather goods. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph from The Stapleton Collection provides us with insight into an often-overlooked aspect of our past. Its historical significance combined with its artistic composition makes it a valuable addition to any fine art collection or exhibition on industrialization and craftsmanship.
