This book tells the story of shoemaking from the days of the isolated shoemaker, who made a shoe right through, to the groups of men who worked with apprentices in the larger towns and served the customer direct. It shows the growth of mass production in the seventeenth century, with a recognisable factory system and warehouses in the cities. Finally the book shows the late development of mechanisation in the 1850s and the rigidity it imposed.
