EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Monkey Brand Soap packing process at Port Sunlight, Wirral, England, in the early 1900s. The photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of industry and innovation. Port Sunlight, established by Lever Brothers in 1888, was a model Victorian village designed to provide a healthy and comfortable living environment for its workers. The village, with its picturesque cottages, gardens, and community facilities, was a pioneering example of the paternalistic approach to industrial labour. In this photograph, we see the Monkey Brand Soap being carefully packed, ready for distribution. Monkey Brand Soap, with its distinctive label featuring a playful monkey, was a popular product of Lever Brothers, and its production was a significant part of the company's industrial output. The scene is set against the backdrop of the factory, with its tall chimneys and large windows, symbolizing the power and scale of the manufacturing process. The workers, dressed in their uniforms, are focused on their task, demonstrating the efficiency and discipline that characterized the Lever Brothers' factories. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, adds to the vintage feel of the image, further emphasizing the historical significance of this photograph. This fascinating glimpse into the past offers a unique insight into the daily life and industrial processes of Port Sunlight during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
