EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ebourrage des peaux, Echarnage des peaux" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of tanneries and leather manufacturing. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases the intricate processes involved in transforming raw animal skins into fine leathers. The image captures two skilled workers engaged in their craft. With meticulous attention to detail, they are seen removing excess hair from the skins (ebourrage) and scraping off any remaining flesh (echarnage). These essential steps were crucial for achieving high-quality leather products. Originally featured as an illustration in Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles de l'Industrie" around 1880, this digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate the historical significance of these industrial practices. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship that has shaped our modern understanding of leather production. As we admire this print from a private collection, we are transported back in time when such industries played a vital role in society. From tanners perfecting their skills to meet growing demands for leather goods to the development of patent leather techniques - each aspect contributes to our rich industrial history. Bridgeman Images brings this remarkable piece of artistry closer to us through Fine Art Finder, reminding us of the immense value that lies within historical photographs like these.
