EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the early 19th century, we see a skilled currier hard at work shaving animal hides with a knife to create leather for various purposes such as shoes, boots, saddles, and bookbindings. The intricate process of transforming raw materials into fine leather goods is captured in exquisite detail in this handcoloured woodcut engraving. The scene depicts an apprentice learning the craft under the watchful eye of his master in a traditional workshop setting. The apron-clad currier meticulously shapes the leather with precision and expertise, showcasing the artistry and dedication required in this labor-intensive occupation. This historical print offers a glimpse into the manufacturing technology of the time, highlighting the importance of skilled labor and craftsmanship in producing high-quality leather products. The tools of the trade - including knives and tanning instruments - are prominently featured, emphasizing the hands-on nature of this ancient profession. As we admire this beautifully rendered illustration from "The Book of English Trades and Library of Useful Arts," we are reminded of the rich heritage and tradition associated with leatherworking in Britain during that era. This timeless image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity in turning humble animal hides into valuable commodities that have stood the test of time.
