Description

This study examines the life and work of a rural nineteenth-century Ontario cabinetmaker, Francis Jones. An appreciation of his work is gained through illustrations and discussions of his shop and furniture-making techniques. This story is typical of many nineteenth-century crafts when industrialization resulted in mass production and the disappearance of traditional trades.
