EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock engraving from the 19th century showcases the intricate process of tanning goat skins in a sumach solution. The skilled tanner is shown carefully submerging the skins into the tub, ensuring that every inch is exposed to the tanning solution. To achieve this, the skins are blown up and floated in the mixture, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail required in this age-old craft. The wooden blocks used for printing add a rustic charm to this illustration, perfectly capturing the essence of traditional leatherworking techniques. The rich texture of both wood and leather is beautifully depicted, transporting viewers back in time to witness firsthand how goat skins were transformed into supple, durable material. As we admire this historical artwork, we gain a newfound appreciation for the artistry and precision involved in tanning animal hides. Each step of the process is meticulously illustrated, showcasing not only the technical skill of the artist but also shedding light on an important aspect of our cultural heritage.
