gold beater

Orion, the Gold Beater.

The German word Goldschläger ("gold beater") designates the profession of gold leaf makers, who beat bars of gold into micrometre-thin sheets.

After being trained as a gold beater, Lope de Rueda led a theater troupe using the style and influence of an Italian movement called Commedia dell'arte.

It was also credited to the carabao ban of 1782, the formation of the silversmiths and gold beaters guild and the construction of the first papermill in the Philippines in 1825.

Although new gasbags could have been supplied by Zeppelin, the French preferred to have them made in France, resulting in a two-year delay while the technique of using gold beater's skin was mastered.

"Ordinarily, in your lifetime, you would come to know nothing of gold leaf-although really thin gold leaf is not required here-nor of gold beater's skins and membranes and how to use them" nor of the adhesives to be employed and the techniques of employing them.

See the tailors, shoemakers, bookbinders, gold beaters, printers, bricklayers, coatmakers, hatters, curriers, masons, whitesmiths, none of these trades receive less than 30s a week, and from that to five guineas this is all done by combination, without it their trades would be as bad as yours.

Woodbridge both lived and worked at 90 Chatham, and his neighbors did the same - a gold beater at 88, a wig maker at 92 and Perkins and Brother, carpet dealers, in the two-toned building in the center of the daguerreotype at the corner of Pearl and Chatham Streets.
