EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Pyne - Tanner: A Feltmonger Dressing a Hide at Work in an Ooze-Pit, while his Companions are Frizing, Removing the Hair from the Skin," is a remarkable documentation of the leather industry during the early 19th century. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, dates back to 1808. The scene portrays a feltmonger, a specific type of tanner, diligently working at an ooze-pit. The ooze-pit was a large, shallow pool filled with a mixture of water, lime, and animal waste, used to soften and prepare hides for the tanning process. The feltmonger, dressed in traditional attire, is seen meticulously dressing a hide, using a tool to scrape off the hair. His companions, also dressed in protective clothing, are shown in the background, engaged in the laborious task of removing the hair from the hides using long, curved knives. The title of the photograph, "frizing," refers to the process of scraping off the hair from the hides, which was a crucial step in the tanning process. The term "frizing" comes from the Old English word "frizzan," meaning to scrape or shave. The workers in this photograph are likely using a tool called a "frizing knife," which had a curved blade designed to follow the contours of the hide and effectively remove the hair. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the leather industry of the past, showcasing the hard work and dedication required to transform raw hides into valuable leather products. The image also highlights the importance of teamwork and the division of labor in this industry, with each worker specializing in a specific task to ensure the efficient production of high-quality leather.
