EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional horse tack making, as two skilled craftsmen meticulously prepare the leatherwork for their creations in a quintessential workshop setting. The scene is filled with the rich aroma of leather and hay, as the artisans carefully shape, stretch, and sew each piece to the correct size and shape. At the center of the workshop, a well-worn workbench is laden with an assortment of tools, including a sewing awl, a mallet, and a leather stretching paddle. The craftsmen, dressed in worn aprons, focus intently on their tasks, their faces etched with concentration. In the foreground, a kitten peeks curiously from a pile of straw, adding a playful touch to the historical scene. The walls of the workshop are adorned with brasses and other horse tack, a testament to the proud tradition of this time-honored craft. A lantern casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate details of the leatherwork and adding to the sense of industry and craftsmanship. The photograph, painted by Malcolm Greensmith in 1980, transports us back in time to an era when horse tack was still made by hand, with each piece a work of art in its own right. The attention to detail and the dedication of the craftsmen are evident in every brushstroke, making this a truly captivating and authentic glimpse into the world of traditional horse tack making.
