EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an intriguing advertisement for the St Lawrence Steam Laundry Company, Ltd in Canterbury, Kent. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The advertisement itself was featured in a publication called "Canterbury, Mother-City of the Anglo-Saxon Race" by the Canterbury Chamber of Trade in 1904. The photo showcases a fascinating glimpse into history, depicting workers at the laundry engaged in various tasks such as washing, drying, ironing, and packing. Women can be seen diligently working alongside their male counterparts to ensure efficient operations. The building itself exudes architectural charm typical of early 20th-century England. This image not only offers insight into the daily lives and occupations of individuals during that era but also highlights the significance of laundry services within society at that time. It serves as a testament to British culture and industry during this period. While it remains unclear whether this particular advertisement was targeted towards German consumers or if it simply features German text for aesthetic purposes, its inclusion adds an interesting layer to its historical context. This photograph provides viewers with a unique opportunity to explore both British and German influences on advertising practices from over a century ago.
