Maney Publishing

This book examines Isaac Holden's achievements both as an inventor and as a specialist woolcomber in France during the second half of the nineteenth century. Early business failure in Bradford prompted Holden's move to France, where, by the late nineteenth century he had built up the largest woolcombing enterprise in Europe. The study further considers the process by which woolcombing was mechanised, and specifies the means employed by the principle inventors to monopolise control of the new technology. By analysing Isaac Holden's technical and commercial exploits within the French worsted industry, the authors have been able to confront the general question of technical change in the process of European industrialisation in the second half of the nineteenth century. This book should appeal to those interested in nineteenth century European economic history, as well as those interested in business history and the history of technology.

History

This book analyses the progress and performance of the wool textile industry, both nationally and in various regions where it was concentrated. It examines the development of the industry in terms of its structure and location, its transition to factory production, its use of raw materials and new technology, and the variety of its finished products. It considers the competitive position of the industry in home and foreign markets both in the halcyon days of trade expansion and in the changing economic circumstances after 1870. The authors review the differing fortunes of woollens and worsteds, the rise of low woollens and the decline of some of the traditional wool textile manufacturing districts. Whilst highlighting the difficulties encountered by the industry, the overall conclusion of the volume is an optimistic one in terms of entrepreneurial performance and adaptability in production methods and to market circumstances.It is the first overall study of the economic history of the industry nationally from the Industrial Revolution to the First World War. The volume will be of great interest to economic historians and to all interested in the history of technology, the development of design, costume and fashion and to local historians in those many parts of Britain where wool textile manufacture was carried out.
