Men and Women Workers at Shoe Factory, Boston, Massachusetts, circa 1903
01
Artifact Overview
In 1800, shoemaking was a craft known to few. Throughout the century, inventors patented industrial machines to perform much of that manual labor. By 1900, shops of laborers produced more shoes faster and cheaper than ever before. Because factories could hire men and women--like those posing here--to complete the entire process under one roof, shoemaking profits multiplied.
