EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Currying" takes us back in time to the 18th century when leather craftsmanship was at its peak. Created by Robert Benard and published in the renowned Encyclopaedia or a Systematic Dictionary of the Sciences, Arts and Crafts by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, this engraving offers a glimpse into the intricate process of currying. The image showcases an array of tools meticulously arranged on a workbench, ready for use in the leather curing process. From scrapers and knives to brushes and hammers, each tool serves a specific purpose in transforming raw hides into supple and durable leather. The attention to detail is remarkable as every instrument is depicted with precision. Beyond just showcasing tools, this print also provides insight into the workshop environment required for currying. It invites us to imagine skilled artisans working diligently amidst shelves filled with tanned hides waiting to be transformed. The atmosphere exudes dedication, expertise, and centuries-old traditions passed down from generation to generation. As we admire this piece of artistry from our private collection today, we are reminded of the rich history behind every crafted item we encounter. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives perfecting these ancient techniques that continue to shape our world today.
