EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient art of curing animal skin at Lalibela Market in Ethiopia. The image showcases a meticulous process where cleaned animal skins are stretched on a sturdy frame, revealing the intricate details of this traditional craft. In this snapshot, we witness skilled artisans carefully stretching and securing the hides onto the frame, ensuring they are taut and ready for further treatment. Each hide represents not only a valuable material but also a piece of African heritage and culture. The vibrant colors and textures showcased in this photograph highlight the rich diversity found within Ethiopian markets. The sight of these stretched animal skins evokes thoughts of leather goods that will soon be created from them – durable materials that have been used for centuries to create clothing, accessories, and other essential items. Ethiopia's long-standing tradition in tanning is deeply rooted in its history, with techniques passed down through generations. This image serves as a reminder of the importance placed on preserving cultural practices while embracing modernity. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene captured by Science Photo Library, we are transported to an enchanting market place where age-old traditions meet contemporary demands. It is through such photographs that we can appreciate both the beauty and significance behind every step involved in transforming raw animal hides into exquisite pieces of craftsmanship.
