Caption

The Baker kneading dough on lid of flour bin. [1823]. In background the oven is being heated by burning faggots, like the bundle of wood, bottom right. When the oven was up to temperature, the ashes would be raked out and loaves placed in oven using a 'peel', one of the flat wooden paddle-like implements leaning against oven. From "The Book of English Trades". (London, 1824). Hand-coloured woodcut.
