Description

Antique Engraving from The London Illustrated News 1866 The Sheffield Steel Manufacturers. Sheffield Fork Grinders.
Good condition. Modern frame.
Sheffield has been renowned for its quality cutlery manufacturing industry for centuries. The availability of natural resources made it an ideal location. By the 1800s people had begun to work in newly opened factories rather than the previous homeworking. Demand for products increased - exporting overseas became widespread. This engraving reflects the working conditions common at this time. A fascinating piece of social history.
Some age-related wear consistent with use. Please view the photographs carefully as these form part of the description. If you require any extra photos or a condition report, please do not hesitate to contact the team.
