Description: | This essay gives an interesting insight into the processes involved in the tailoring trade, and the role of Jewish immigrants in the trade. It also compares the different environments in which tailoring may be carried out: workshops, factories and the home. The essay was written by Levi Billig, while he was a pupil at the Jews' Free School. Billig was the eldest son of immigrants from Russia, and the brother of Dr Hannah Billig, the "Angel of Cable Street". He later became an Arabic scholar and lecturer at Hebrew University, in Jerusalem, where he advocated greater Arab-Jewish understanding. He was murdered by Arab terrorists in 1936 as he sat in his study working on a medieval Islamic text. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Copyright holder unknown. | Subjects: | work Public services Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1911-10-09 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
