- Abstract
This article is based upon a document (number 227) found in the papers of Walery Glowacki, a notary from Szczebrzeszyn, Poland, which provides an inventory of goods found in the household of Jozef Serwetowicz, a glove-maker in the city of Zamosc, Poland. The author provides a brief biography of Serwetowicz’s personal and professional life and notes that he opened a glove store and workshop in the city of Zamosc in 1840. She speculates as to where and how he learned the glove-making trade, and then details what aspects of the profession Serwetowicz had to be acquainted with or to master before he could begin working on his own. The reprinted inventory (dated 30 August, 1857) of his household, workshop, and store property provides insight into how gloves were made, from which materials they were commonly produced, as well as the common types of accessories that were available for gloves in the time period (belts, purses, slippers, hand bags, buttons, ribbons, etc.). These details further expand upon the knowledge of this type of trade and small-scale manufacture, as well as the types of clothing styles and dress in Poland in the second half of the 19th century.
