EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colour lithograph captures the intricate process of unhairing skins in a traditional leather workshop. The scene depicts skilled craftsmen meticulously working on a pair of shoes, showcasing the artistry and precision involved in bootmaking.
The print is part of a series illustrating A Day with Leather Workers, originally published by Henry Frowde for Oxford University Press around 1930. It offers a glimpse into the early 20th-century English shoemaking industry, highlighting the craftsmanship and dedication required to create high-quality footwear.
The composition is rich in texture and color, bringing to life the hustle and bustle of a cobbler's shop in mid-20th century England. Each detail, from the tools scattered on workbenches to the worn-out boots waiting for repair, tells a story of tradition and expertise passed down through generations.
As we admire this snapshot of history frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance of preserving age-old crafts and techniques that continue to shape our world today. This print serves as both an homage to the past and an inspiration for future generations to appreciate the beauty found in handmade goods crafted with care and skill.
