The No. 21 Grand Magazine published by Lyon Urban Community is strong in its mission to inform the public about the history of silk and especially that of silk weavers!
in bulk and without the order of anything:
" 1810: The ancient monasteries of the Red Cross are converted into workshops to accommodate the Jacquard looms. "
They are where these convents in the Red Cross? And why does the silk workers were not they installed in the Cathedral of St. John? The ceiling was even higher!
" ... traboules to save time and protect the silk from the elements during transportation. "
Protect from weather ... name of a rat! The author of the text ever borrowed a traboule slopes of the Croix-Rousse? Do it on a rainy day ... and he must bring with her an umbrella ... that the Board of everyday use. And then, are woven on the board, so why is there traboules not? Frankly we take the silk workers for fools. They would not have been able to protect their stuff?
" The silk weavers took up arms in November 1831 to defend the application of a minimum charge. "
They have taken up arms after the first shots of the 1st Legion National Guard who were dead in their ranks.
" Three years later, the trial of leaders strikers gave the signal of a real uprising, crushed in blood ... as the previous one. "
The trial of 1834 is not that of mutualist strikers 1831. The previous November 1831 has not been crushed in blood. The silk weavers were master of the land, occupied the town hall. The army is Rillieux. The silk workers return to their workshops by their own volition.
" Why do we call the silk workers, the Canuts: Contraction of" bare sticks . They
Bambana legs in the air? Seriously, keep this legend to engage children and bring you to the text that gives voice to the weavers on the origin of the word.
