Description
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.
