The book covers the main craftsmen and companies of the county, including Hayle copper, Newlyn copper, Newlyn silver and enamels, Herbert Dyer, Archibald Carne’s wrought ironwork, the Eustace family and Francis Cargeeg. It looks at their backgrounds, their influences and the strong Cornish character of their work, and it compares organised workshops and industrial classes with individual craftsmen.
