Leather, Parchment, and Glue - A Glimpse into 19th Century British Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Leather, Parchment, and Glue" takes us back to the heart of the Industrial Revolution in 19th century Britain. Captured by an English School artist from a private collection, this engraving showcases the intricate process behind leather and parchment manufacturing. The image reveals a bustling workshop filled with workers diligently engaged in various stages of production. From grinding and scouring to scraping and cutting out, each step is meticulously executed using specialized industrial equipment. The scene is set in Bermondsey, a major hub for these industries during that time. Notably, this print also highlights the importance of glue-making as a crucial component within the leather and parchment trade. We witness craftsmen skillfully boiling glue while others distribute it across different sections of their workspace known as "Glue Makers Field". Beyond its historical significance within Great Britain's industrial landscape, this artwork offers insight into European craftsmanship during this era. It serves as a reminder of how industries like leathermaking played a vital role not only in local economies but also in shaping cultural identities across nations such as France. Through its detailed illustrations and rich narrative context, "Leather, Parchment, and Glue" transports viewers back to an era where manual labor intertwined with innovation to drive progress forward.
