This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a tannery machine for splitting skins. The plate is taken from the renowned publication "Giornale dell'agricoltura, arti e tecniche" (Revue d'agriculture, arts et techniques) dating back to 1823. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece skillfully depicts the intricate craftsmanship involved in the tanning process. The image transports us to an era when skilled artisans meticulously operated these machines with precision and expertise. Every detail of the mechanism is highlighted, revealing gears and levers that were essential in achieving perfect splits of animal hides. This print offers a glimpse into the world of traditional leatherworking, where dedication to craft was paramount. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness during the 19th century. Now part of a private collection, this historical artifact reminds us of our rich heritage and how far we have come in modern industrial processes. Giancarlo Costa's preservation of this piece ensures its longevity for generations to come. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also acknowledge the countless hours spent by craftsmen who mastered their trade through such ingenious machinery.
