EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Leather: splitting of rabbit skins to make leather" takes us back in time to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the intricate craftsmanship and labor-intensive process of creating leather. The engraving is part of Pierre Calmette's collection "Excursion a travers les metiers" showcasing various trades and professions. In this particular scene, we witness a skilled French craftsman meticulously working on splitting rabbit skins for leather production. The worker's hands move with precision and expertise as he delicately handles each skin, highlighting the dedication required in his profession. The image transports us to an era where manual labor played a vital role in meeting society's needs. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on traditional skills and techniques that have shaped industries throughout history. The composition captures not only the physicality of the job but also evokes emotions surrounding work, employment, and career choices. It prompts contemplation about how individuals pursued their livelihoods during this period and reminds us of our own professional journeys today. As we admire this piece from Calmette's private collection, it is evident that behind every finished product lies countless hours of hard work by unsung heroes like this craftsman. This photograph invites us to appreciate both their contributions to society and the beauty found within their dedicated craftsmanship.
