This engraving, titled "Saddler and Harness Maker" takes us back to the 19th century when skilled tradesmen dedicated their craftsmanship to the art of creating harnesses for horses. The image showcases a bustling workshop filled with an array of tools and implements specific to this profession. Intricate details reveal the various stages involved in harness making, from cutting and shaping leather using round knives and hand knives, to meticulously sewing pieces together with needles and thread. The saddler's hands deftly manipulate compasses, pricking irons, and screw creases as he creates precise measurements on the leather surface. The atmosphere is one of focused industry as workmen diligently ply their trade amidst shelves adorned with clamps, pincers, pliers, hammers, nail claws, and other essential tools.
