EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Leather and Parchment" takes us back to the 19th century in England, showcasing the intricate process of leather and parchment manufacturing. The image, part of Charles Tomlinson's book Illustrations of Useful Arts and Manufactures, provides a glimpse into the major stages and equipment involved in this historical industry. The photograph captures a scene filled with workers diligently engaged in their tasks. Lime pits are seen nearby, where hides are being unhairied before moving on to the next step. Skilled craftsmen can be observed using tools such as curriers knives and half moon knives for finishing hides. The image also reveals various other essential elements of the production process. From staking tawed leather to working at tan pits or sumach tubs, each stage contributes to creating high-quality leathers used for different purposes. Not limited to Britain alone, this print reminds us that France played a significant role in producing leathers during this era as well. Patent leather was one notable type manufactured by French artisans. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident how industrialization revolutionized traditional crafts like leathermaking. This visual documentation serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication put forth by these industrious individuals who contributed greatly to both British and European industries.
