EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Drying leather, Argentina" we are transported to a time of laborious craftsmanship and rural life. The image showcases the meticulous process of transforming raw hides into supple leather, capturing an essential part of Argentina's rich cultural heritage. The scene unfolds in a rustic farm setting, where diligent workers can be seen tending to rows upon rows of cowhides laid out under the open sky. These skilled labourers, their faces etched with determination and expertise, meticulously turn each hide as they dry under the warm sun. Their hands bear witness to years of hard work and dedication in perfecting this age-old craft. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility amidst the flurry of activity. A modest farmhouse stands in the background, its presence reminding us that these farmers have dedicated their lives to nurturing both land and livestock. The simplicity and authenticity captured by Samuel Boote's lens transport us back in time when manual labor was at the heart of every industry. This albumen print on card is not just a visual representation; it encapsulates an entire way of life that has shaped generations before us. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded to appreciate the artistry behind everyday objects while acknowledging those who dedicate themselves tirelessly for our comfort and enjoyment.
