Remember the gilded frames we had in our stories? Well this is how gold leaf is actually made before it’s applied to your custom frame! 🖼

⚒️✨ Beaten gold leaf is mostly industrially produced in China. In Venice, Berta Battiloro is upholding the craft of gold beating by hand, using a hammer. The family business is "The Last of the Gold Beaters" – and they’re very proud of their craftmanship.
A timeless update to an ancestors photograph. This photograph has been hand coloured (like many portraits from the 19th century).
A nugget of information 📸
The first recorded photograph was taken in 1826. Although capturing the moment in a photo was quite the discovery, it left people with a longing for colour and realism. Experiments with colour photography developed, however it was a more costly process. Most of the monochrome photographs were hand touched using a mixture of gum arabic (tree sap) and pigment. Hand colouring photographs became a well respected art form and was in its highest demand between 1900 and 1940. Hand colouring began as early as 1839 and continued as a trend until colour photography was introduced by American Kodak in mid-20th century, about 1935. As years passed the demand for hand colouring fluctuated. Up until the 1980’s hand coloured photos were seen as more of a collectable item and sometimes preferred due to the permanence of the pigments in contrast to a photograph. Today digital artists use programs such as Photoshop to recreate the iconic appearance of a hand coloured photograph.
