Download or read book Artisans Abroad written by Fabrice Bensimon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1815 and 1870, when European industrialisation was in its infancy and Britain enjoyed a technological lead, thousands of British workers emigrated to the continent. They played a key role in several sectors, like textiles, iron, mechanics, and the railways. These men and women thereby contributed significantly to the industrial take-off in continental Europe. Artisans Abroad examines the lives and trajectories of these workers who emigrated from manufacturing centres in Britain to France, Belgium, Germany, and other countries, considering their mobilities, their culture, their politics, and their relations with the local populations. Fabrice Bensimon reminds us that the British economy was not just oriented towards the Empire and the USA, but also towards the continent, long before the European Union and Brexit, and shows the critical role played by migrant workers in the Industrial Revolution. Artisans Abroad is the first social and cultural history of this forgotten migration.

Download or read book Textiles guide written by Florence Ferrari and published by ESMOD. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Textiles are part of our lives but we are not always familiar with them. Knowing how to choose them and how to use them is essential to better respect and optimise the resources at our disposal. Designed with the user in mind, this book explores the various technical data on textiles in a straightforward manner, while keeping in mind the difficulties users face in choosing their creations. The first part deals with the textile industry: raw materials, spinning, weaving, knitting and finishing, without forgetting the education of the touch (the hand of the fabric) which is so important in any choice. The second part helps the user to learn the vocabulary, properties, qualities and defects of each textile family: wools, cottons, silks, knits, technical and innovative fabrics. It also includes data on their ecological impact, with a summary of good practices to better respect the environment. Tips, comparative tests and technical details are included to accompany the reader in his discoveries. ABOUT THE AUTHOR After studying literature, Florence Ferrari graduated from ESMOD as a fashion designer. She specialised in textiles as head of the fabric library for an ESMOD subsidiary, then became a textile technology teacher, while regularly working as a consultant editor in style offices and as a journalist in the professional textile press.
Download or read book Economic and Social Change in a Midland Town written by Roy A. Church and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first published in 1966. The city of Nottingham grew from the nucleus of a smaller and older town to become one of the nation's leading industrial centres, and although it was not a product of the industrial revolution Nottingham was completely transformed by it. For most of the nineteenth century the major activities were the production of hosiery by an industry whose methods, organization, and outlook remained traditional for many decades, and the manufacture of machine-made lace, a progressive and mechanized industry which from its early years featured factory production. This text explores the relationship between the development of power based machinery and the more traditional crafts of the area.
