Various craft guilds were established in London as early as the 12th century, later becoming known as City Livery Companies because they often wore a distinctive livery or uniform (although the Silk Throwers had no livery or hall). The companies decided who could work or trade in their crafts, controlling prices and wages, working conditions and welfare. In return for exercising rigorous quality control they received monopoly powers. In continental Europe, various revolutions in the 18th and 19th centuries swept away the guilds, but in England they continued, and several new Companies have appeared in recent years.From "Londons Armory Accuratly delineated in a Graphical display of all the Arms, Crests, Supporters, Mantles and Motto’s of every distinct Company and Corporate Societie in the Honourable City of London".

Tallow-chandler.
[n.d. c.1820.]
Hand-coloured engraving. 102 x 63mm. 4 x 2½". Cut and laid on album scrap.
The business of a Tallow-chandler consists in making candles of suet or fat, and in selling them after they are made. In the country the trade of a tallow-chandler and soap boiler are frequently combined, in London more rarely. The business of a Cabinet-maker, and that of an Upholsterer, is now so generally united together, that any observations on either of these branches may, with propriety, be comprehended under one general head. From "The Book of Trades or Library of Useful Arts".
