EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "La Bievre et ses tanneries" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical world of manufacturing and industry. The image showcases a bustling scene of tanners hard at work in their tanneries, surrounded by hides and skins awaiting transformation into fine leathers. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles de l Industrie" published around 1880. It beautifully captures the essence of this industrial era when leather production played a significant role in society. Through this digitally cleaned image, we can appreciate the intricate details that highlight each step involved in the manufacture of leather goods. From soaking and cleaning hides to treating them with various substances, these skilled craftsmen were able to transform raw materials into high-quality leathers used for various purposes. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of those who worked in this trade but also provides us with valuable insights into our rich industrial history. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how industries like these have shaped our modern world while appreciating the artistry behind their creation.
