EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from the early 1900s, showcasing the Printing Department at Port Sunlight, Wirral, England. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of industrial innovation and Victorian charm. The scene is set in the heart of Port Sunlight, a model village established by Lever Brothers in 1888 for their workers. The village, designed to provide a healthy and pleasant living environment, is known for its beautiful architecture and picturesque surroundings. In the foreground, we see the bustling Printing Department, where the production of various materials for the Lever Brothers' extensive business operations took place. The room is filled with an array of printing presses, each one humming with activity. Workers, dressed in their early 1900s attire, are engrossed in their tasks, their faces a testament to the dedication and hard work that went into the manufacturing process. The room is illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns, casting long, dramatic shadows on the walls. The large windows allow natural light to filter in, creating a contrast between the industrial setting and the tranquil beauty of the surrounding landscape. The image also reveals a glimpse of the Edwardian and Victorian influences that shaped the village. The intricate design of the machinery, the attention to detail in the workers' uniforms, and the overall aesthetic of the space reflect the era's industrial prowess and commitment to quality. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of Port Sunlight and the industrial revolution that shaped the region. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity, hard work, and dedication that went into the manufacture of the iconic soap products that Lever Brothers became renowned for.
