Abstract

Trades Unions in an attempt to afford themselves some protection. The book is peppered with little gems of information, and I read with particular interest that the great architect brothers, Robert and John Adam, were shareholders in the well-known Carron Iron Company of Falkirk. The company had brought workers from Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, to share their expertise in decorative cast iron. The Adam brothers being shareholders makes perfect sense when one considers the influence they had over the development of the styles and commissions in the growing number of stylish houses in Scotland. So many fireplaces were required, not to mention door furniture! In this book, Nenadic’s hypothesis is scrutinized and she concludes that, as the nineteenth century turned into the twentieth, traditional skills of the craftworkers were still thriving alongside factory production, as was the case in England and France. She had also detected similar patterns in Europe and Asia, not least as a growing tourism market kept many craftworkers in business.
打扮:英国的奇装异服历史
工会试图为自己提供一些保护。这本书充满了一些宝贵的信息,我读到伟大的建筑师兄弟罗伯特和约翰·亚当是著名的福尔柯克卡隆钢铁公司的股东时特别感兴趣。该公司从什罗普郡的Coalbrookdale请来了工人,分享他们在装饰铸铁方面的专业知识。当人们考虑到亚当兄弟对苏格兰越来越多时尚住宅的风格和佣金发展的影响时,他们成为股东是完全合理的。需要那么多的壁炉,更不用说门上的家具了!在这本书中,内纳季奇的假设受到了仔细审查,她得出结论,随着十九世纪进入二十世纪,手工艺工人的传统技能仍然与工厂生产一起蓬勃发展,就像英国和法国的情况一样。她在欧洲和亚洲也发现了类似的模式,尤其是因为不断增长的旅游市场让许多手工艺人继续经营。
