Meaning In the cloakshop where Zelig worked he stood daily, brandishing his heavy iron on the sizzling cloth, hardly ever glancing about him.
What does the underlined part mean? Of course "him" doesn't refer to sth else.

Re: Meaning It means he rarely looked around as he worked. 'Around him' means his surroundings.
