A Hartshorn Rasper “was a craftsman or worker who specialized in processing hartshorn, which refers to the antlers of a hart (an adult male deer). The primary task of a hartshorn rasper involved rasping or scraping the antlers to produce a powder. This hartshorn powder was highly valued for its use in various applications, particularly in the production of hartshorn jelly, a form of gelatin, and in traditional medicine.
The hartshorn jelly made from this powder was a popular culinary ingredient and was also believed to have medicinal properties, such as treating ailments like fevers or indigestion. Additionally, the powder was sometimes used in the preparation of ammonium carbonate, a chemical compound with various uses including as a smelling salt and a leavening agent in baking.
The process of rasping hartshorn required skill and precision to ensure the antlers were processed correctly and efficiently, making the role of a hartshorn rasper both specialized and important in its historical context.”
