EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration transports us back in time to the Club for Women in the picturesque Bournville village during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image, created by an unknown artist from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, beautifully captures the essence of community and camaraderie among women. Nestled within the idyllic setting of Bournville, a model village established by the Cadbury family for their workers, the Club for Women was a hub of social activity. The women, dressed in their finest attire, gather around a large, ornate lantern slide projector, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. The lantern slide, a popular form of entertainment during this period, projects an image onto a white screen, most likely an educational or inspirational image to stimulate thought and conversation. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the Club is further emphasized by the presence of a chocolate factory in the background, a nod to the Cadbury family's philanthropic endeavors and the village's rich chocolate-making history. The women appear to be in the midst of an engaging discussion, their hands gesturing animatedly, their eyes focused on the projection. This illustration offers a rare glimpse into the lives of women in a bygone era, a time when community gatherings and shared experiences played a crucial role in fostering connections and personal growth. The Club for Women in Bournville village stands as a testament to the power of women's collective spirit and the importance of coming together to learn, create, and inspire one another.
