This print showcases an intriguing advertisement for Taylor Brothers, a prominent manufacturer of various industrial tools and cutlery in Sheffield during the year 1858. The original photograph is housed at the esteemed Sheffield Local Studies Library, specifically under MP 122 M. The image captures a moment frozen in time, offering us a glimpse into the bustling world of advertising in the mid-19th century. The ad proudly promotes Taylor Brothers' expertise as manufacturers of saws, steel products, files, machine knives, and more. Located at Adelaide Works on Mowbray Street in Sheffield's vibrant Neepsend district, this establishment played a significant role in shaping the city's industrial landscape.
