About This Item
Set of 3 Acts by Parliament regulating factory labor conditions for women and children in the bleach, dye, and lace industries, 1860-62. First Edition. Three documents, totaling 12 pages. The three Acts enclosed from the UK Parliament are the Bleach and Dye Act (1860), Lace Factories Act (1861), and an 1862 extension of Bleach and Dye to include open-air bleaching facilities. These pieces of legislation were part of the Factory Acts, an series of acts passed by Parliament throughout the 19th and into the 20th century, to regulate the condition of industrial employment. This legislation was indicative of the class struggle in Britain at the time, in that its preeminent position as a manufacturing center and those industrial interests enriched by that unique position eventually had to accept some limits on the labor that they could extract from the population. An important set of documents that remind us that there were many stops on the road to the 8 hour work day. Very good condition.
