Answer 2

Answer:

A range of products could be produced only with hand

labour. Machines were oriented to producing uniforms,

standardised goods for a mass market. But the demand in the market

was often for goods with intricate designs and specific shapes. In

mid-nineteenth-century Britain, for instance, 500 varieties of

hammers were produced and 45 kinds of axes. These required

human skill, not mechanical technology.

In Victorian Britain, the upper classes – the aristocrats and the

bourgeoisie – preferred things produced by hand. Handmade

products came to symbolise refinement and class. They were better

finished, individually produced, and carefully designed. Machinemade goods were for export to the colonies.

In countries with labour shortage, industrialists were keen on using

mechanical power so that the need for human labour can be

minimised. This was the case in nineteenth-century America. Britain,

however, had no problem hiring human hands.
