Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the decline of the once-dominant linen industry during the 19th and 20th centuries. The author traces the rise of cotton as a fierce competitor, leading to a dramatic shift in textile manufacturing. Despite technological advancements in linen production, the intrinsic advantages of cotton, such as its lower cost and greater versatility, proved too formidable for linen to overcome. The book delves into the broader historical context of the Industrial Revolution, highlighting the critical role played by technological innovation and the transformation of global trade routes. The author examines the social and economic consequences of the linen industry's decline, including the displacement of skilled workers and the loss of traditional livelihoods. Through meticulous research and analysis, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the forces that shaped the textile industry and offers valuable insights into the dynamics of industrial competition and technological change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
