Tallow-chandler.

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".
