Description: | These tools were used by Jewish cabinet-makers. The cabinet-making trade was a major employer of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and in 1901 about ten per cent of British Jews worked in the furniture trade. Many small furniture firms were set up in the Curtain Road area of the East End, where timber yards and trade mills developed alongside the small furniture makers. Conditions were again hard and uncertain. Accidents with fires and tools were common. One of these tools is shown in the photograph (third from right) alongside other cabinet-making tools. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Image copyright Jewish Museum, London. | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | 1930-1960 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
