Légende

The New French Treaty - No. II., Lyons and French Silks, 1862. 'View of the Croix Rousse...[this] was for a very long period the head-quarters of the population of canuts, or workmen employed as weavers in the silk trade. It is situated on a steep hillside leading down into the city...M. Thorigny's drawing faithfully depicts the present appearance of the new and old parts of this ancient portion of Lyons. A Canut at Home...Although mostly well disposed, the canuts have always taken a prominent part in the revolutionary movements that have so frequently broken out at Lyons, thrown into them, no doubt, by the distress from which they so often suffer. A Canuse at her Loom...many females are also employed at the looms and in the preparation of the silks, and are often as skilful in throwing the shuttle some twelve thousand times a day as their male competitors. When a canut is a married man his spouse usually operates at one of her "master's" looms. Interior of a Factory...[showing] the weaver at work on a current article, which, issues from his loom ready for the market, with the exception of the last finish, which is given to it in a room set apart for that purpose'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
