EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of shoe leather processing in 1885. The image showcases a skilled manual worker standing amidst piles of hides, diligently bending over his work with a look of intense focus on his face. His hands are busy at work as he prepares the hides for production, showcasing the craftsmanship and skill required in this industry. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era in American history, where shoe production was a labor-intensive process that relied heavily on manual labor. The illustration provides a glimpse into the hard work and dedication that went into creating quality footwear during this time period. The vertical composition of the image emphasizes the height of the stacks of hides surrounding the worker, highlighting the sheer volume of materials needed for leather processing. Despite there being no people present in the image, one can almost hear the sounds of machinery whirring and tools clinking together as workers busily go about their tasks. This historical snapshot from "Harper's New Monthly Magazine" serves as a reminder of America's industrial past and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft in order to produce high-quality goods for consumers.
