The invention of Sheffield plate gave birth to a whole new industry, and its expansion in the second half of the 18th century was a triumph of ingenuity, craftsmanship, excellence of design and marketing. This book covers all those aspects of the trade, as well as looking at the opening of the Sheffield and Birmingham assay offices. Includes bibliographical references (pages 383-439) and index.
