Painting Description
"Leather Dresser" is a notable illustration from the work "Costume of Great Britain," published in 1805 by William Miller and illustrated by the British artist William Henry Pyne (1769–1843). This publication is a significant cultural and historical document that offers a vivid glimpse into the occupational attire and practices of early 19th-century Britain. The "Leather Dresser" illustration is particularly important for its detailed depiction of the attire and tools associated with the leather dressing trade, a crucial industry during this period.
William Henry Pyne, renowned for his keen observation and meticulous detail, captures the essence of the leather dresser's profession. The illustration not only serves as an artistic representation but also as an educational tool, providing insights into the techniques, fashion, and socio-economic conditions of the time. Leather dressers were skilled artisans responsible for treating and preparing leather, a vital material for a wide range of goods from clothing to bookbinding. Pyne's work, through such illustrations, contributes significantly to our understanding of the diverse occupations that shaped the economic landscape of Great Britain during the early 1800s.
