In this print, we are transported back in time to the tanning industry of the 1800s. The image showcases various processes involved in transforming raw animal hides into supple leather. A group of hardworking women can be seen meticulously peeling oak bark, an essential step in the tanning process that imparts durability and color to the leather. Meanwhile, men diligently steep goatskins, tan leather with sumach, unhair a goatskin, and skillfully split and taw the leather. The scene exudes a sense of teamwork as these craftsmen work harmoniously together to produce high-quality materials for their trade. Their dedication is evident in their focused expressions and coordinated movements. Surrounding them are rustic logs and trees, reminding us of the rural origins of this ancient craft. This portrait-style photograph captures not only the industrial nature of this labor-intensive profession but also highlights the machinery used during that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity as well as our ability to adapt tools for specific tasks. Through this historical snapshot preserved by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we gain insight into an essential aspect of our past - one that shaped industries worldwide while showcasing both men's and women's contributions within it.
