EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the renowned work "Descriptions of Arts & Crafts" by Denis Diderot. Created in the 18th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of skilled artisans and their intricate processes. The image captures an interior scene within a tannery, where a dedicated craftsman is diligently working on stretching animal skin. Surrounding him are various tools of his trade, showcasing the meticulous nature of leather tanning. The artisan's expertise is evident as he carefully punches decorative panels onto hides, adding an artistic touch to his craftsmanship. The photograph beautifully conveys the labor-intensive process involved in curing and decorating hides. It transports us back to a time when such skills were highly valued and passed down through generations. Displayed at the Institut de France in Paris, this piece holds historical significance as it represents Diderot's comprehensive encyclopedia that aimed to document all aspects of human knowledge during that era. Through this photo print, we are reminded of the dedication and artistry required for these traditional crafts. It serves as both an homage to past traditions and an inspiration for contemporary craftsmen seeking to preserve these age-old techniques.
