Commentary


Ce jeton manque à Feuardent. Il est à placer avec le F.5075 mais en diffère largement par l’avers.
Il ne date pas de 1755 mais date plutôt des années 1780. Les cuirs tannés forment deux grandes catégories : celle des cuirs forts et celle des cuirs à œuvre ou molleterie. Les premiers destinés à la fabrication des objets qui demandent une certaine rigidité, tels, par exemple, que les semelles des chaussures ; les seconds servant, au contraire à la confection des empeignes de souliers, des tiges de bottes et, en général, de tous les ouvrages de cordonnerie, de sellerie, de bourrellerie, etc.. qui réclament une grande souplesse. Les cuirs forts sont employés aussitôt après le tannage, tandis que les cuirs à œuvre doivent être soumis, avant d'être livrés au commerce, à des manipulations plus ou moins compliquées, ayant pour objet de les approprier aux usages spéciaux qu'on veut en faire. C'est l'exécution de ces manipulations qui constitue l'art du corroyeur.
This token is missing from Feuardent. It should be placed with F.5075 but differs significantly in the obverse. It does not date from 1755 but rather from the 1780s. Tanned leathers form two broad categories: strong leathers and leathers for working or molleterie. The former are intended for the manufacture of objects that require a certain rigidity, such as, for example, shoe soles; the latter are used, on the contrary, for the manufacture of shoe uppers, boot uppers and, in general, all shoemaking, saddlery, harness making, etc., which require great flexibility. Strong leathers are used immediately after tanning, while working leathers must be subjected, before being delivered to the trade, to more or less complicated manipulations, the purpose of which is to adapt them to the special uses to which they are to be put. It is the execution of these manipulations that constitutes the art of the tanner

Historical background


CORPORATIONS

In Rome, groups of artisans already existed: forming a college placed under the protection of a divinity, with a common house and fund. In medieval Europe, probably from religious brotherhoods, economic groups were formed between merchants called hanse or ghilde.. With the development of trade, craftsmen organized themselves into trade bodies or communities which brought together all those who practiced the same profession: masters, journeymen or apprentices.. To enter the body, you had to "swear" the profession. Alongside, there were free professions that could be practiced by all.. Each corps was headed by a collegial management responsible for enforcing the regulations of the trade, protecting the trade from competition and directing the mutual benefit society.. At the end of the 17th century, the king began to sell the functions of jurors and corporate trustees as hereditary offices, which led to serious financial difficulties at a time when the corporations no longer met the new economic requirements of the development of industry and business concentration. It is also in England that the corporations disappeared spontaneously because of the industrial revolution.. The corporations will be abolished in France in 1791 by the Constituent Assembly.
