About this title

Synopsis

This groundbreaking study provides a detailed account of how tuberculosis and other infectious diseases were spread through the sweating system in the tailoring trade during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author's research shows how the close working conditions and poor ventilation of tailoring workshops made them breeding grounds for disease. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of medicine and public health.
