LESSON 3
INTRODUCTION
Long before history was written shoes were being made. The earliest dawn of civilization in all the diverse corners of the world has almost invariably seen men contriving some sort of foot-covering. Shoes were unnecessary in warm climates. as 20,000 B.

Primitive man perhaps as early
himself or to cut and sew them together for garments. He also wove strips into baskets and molded wet leather around a foot or hard core to make shoes.
In ancient Egyptian wall paintings only kings and priests are shown wearing sandals, made of plaited reeds or, as in the case of Tutankhamen, of finely tooled leather.
People in cooler climates wore shoes much earlier. Egyptian wall paintings at Beni Hassan (2000 B. c.) and at Thebes (1450 B. c.) depict Syrians, and Minoans from Crete, wearing an assortment of elaborate sandals and boots. The meticulous art of the Assyrians has left us detailed designs of their elaborate and sophisticated sandals on the reliefs from Calah (modern Nimrud) and Nineveh (about 800

.).
The general term for different types of foot coverings is footwear. But within this category there exist a number of articles. Shoe, a form of footgear that covers the foot up to the ankle and that is intended as a protection from cold, dampness, or rough terrain. In addition to shoes, other basic types of footgear are sandals, moccasins, boots, slippers, and mules. The sandal has a flat sole of leather or wood fastened to the foot by straps, thongs, or a knob between the toes. The moccasin is distinguished by a sole that extends up around the foot to form some part or all of the upper section of the shoe. This is a primitive form of footgear that is still worn by hunters because of its flexibility and because it gives greater protection against dampness than shoes with a seam between the sole and the uppers. The boot consists of a sole and an upper part that extends above the ankle to protect the leg from cold, wetness, or dangerous conditions, such as snakebite or thorny plants. The slipper is a soft shoe, often intended for indoor wear, with uppers generally made of fabric and sometimes lined for winter wear with wool or fur. Mules are slippers that consist of a sole and an upper that covers only the toes.
Until the age or cheap mass production, shoes were generally considered a mark of rank or prestige. Common men walked barefoot, and their feet became callous, helping them to escape much of the discomfort that would result from not wearing shoes. The nobility, on the other hand, felt
15
16
obliged to wear shoes as a proof of gentility, that they could not bear roughness or dirt. In ancient China, in order to indicate their incapacity for physical work, upper-class parents bound their daughters' feet to prevent normal growth and to produce a small, twisted "lily foot." As a result, wealthy Chinese women could scarcely walk in their tiny shoes.
As the structure of leather is a vast random network of coil-like molecules linked in fibrous strands, leather is one of the strongest flexible sheet materials known. It resists tearing and puncture, yet it can be stretched. As a porous substance, it can absorb moisture and "breathe," and it has insu­lating qualities. Also, leather is easily worked. It may, for example, be wrapped, rolled, molded, or folded. It may be puckered, crinkled, pierced, sewn, embossed, braided, knotted, glued, nailed. In addition, it is abundantly available in endless variety all over the world. In view of all these advantages, it is readily seen why leather is widely used for such things as clothing, shelter, upholstery, hangings, harnesses, saddles, and bookbindings. Often these utilitarian objects are decorated to produce works of art.
Thick leather is wetted and bent or molded into sculptural forms. In addition, leather is woven with other materials on looms, built into collages and reliefs, and tied into macramé-knotted three-dimensional forms.

FROM HIDES TO LEATHER
Many of the unique characteristics of leather are due to its three­dimensional fibre
weave. The raw material (hides and skins) is studied in its normal state and affected by disease in the living animal. Through the experiences and discoveries of hundreds of years, various methods of making leather were gradually devised. Now the processes of making leather are quite the same throughout the world and their character is similar to that used long ago. The only difference is that the industries making leather have become highly scientific.
Although there are many variations in leather making because of different types of hides made into leather, different agents used for tanning and finishing and different purposes for which leather is to be used, the fundamental processes and operations are the same. The series of processes by means of which the natural hides and skins are converted into leather is broadly covered by the term ‗tanning‘. But this denomination is not accurate. Tanning proper is only one of the operations necessary to produce the finished product. The whole process of leather manufacture may be divided into three main stages: 1) preparation for tanning, 2) tanning, and 3) finishing.
Since skins and hides are often transported some distance to the tanneries, they are given a preserving treatment by drying or treatment with salt as soon as they are taken from the animal. This keeps them fresh until they arrive at the tannery. Before tanning, all hide and skins must be thoroughly washed and cleaned. This cleaning is done in large washing machines. Then each hide is run through a fleshing machine, which removes flesh and fat. After fleshing the hides are soaked in a lime solution to loosen the hair so that it can be easily removed by the machine. This process is called unhairing or depilation. When soft,
19
20
fleshed and clean, the skins and hides are ready to be tanned.
In order to be successful in all these operations and processes, good knowledge of the properties of hides and skins and processes taking place in them is important. The only way this can be examined directly is through the microscope; hence microscopy is useful and indeed essential in many ways. In this way, the influence on the microstructure of putrefaction and other changes is examined and recorded.
Morphology or structure of the skin has been studied for many years under the microscope. This wonderful instrument has revealed many secrets of cell formation and has aided in the explanation of certain known results. The microscope is used to determine the changes in the fibre structure of the hides at different stages, to diagnose the causes of any faults in the finished leather and, if necessary, to identify the source of the material and the type of the process used. Since the properties of leather depend largely on the properties of the fibres and the way in which they interweave, it is possible, to some extent, to assess the quality of a piece of leather from microscopic observations. The use of the microscope and the interpretation of observations made with it do not present problems greater than those encountered with other methods of control used in tanneries.
